Firwood Village spans 5 census tracts of Pasadena, TX and houses 22,427 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 31.5% citywide, putting Firwood Village 18.9% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.8 to 4.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Court records carry 2,509 eviction filings across its 5 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 26.2% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,334, 10% above the Pasadena average of $1,213. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Pasadena, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third.
Judgments average 6.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Parkview South and Deer Creek. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 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.
