Deer Creek is a 4-tract neighborhood of Pasadena, TX, population 19,191. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Pasadena rate of 31.5%.
The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.4/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Court records carry 2,655 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 55.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 10.2% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #2 of 6 neighborhoods in Pasadena. For a like-for-like read, Firwood Village and Parkview South score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 4 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
