Pecan Plantation is a 2-tract neighborhood of Deer Park, TX and houses 14,969 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
66% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Deer Park rate of 33.7%. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Court records carry 550 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 7.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 4.4% in 2015, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,212, 8% below the Deer Park average of $1,318.
Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
