Raleigh Creek is a one-tract neighborhood of Tomball, TX and houses 2,619 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1/10. 19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. 29% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Tomball rate of 35.8%.
Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 8.3/10. Court records for this tract carry 128 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 6.0% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 6.0% in 2015 against a 6.0% peak. Only 22% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Sugarberry Place and Copper Cove.
Against average income of $88,013, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,220, close to the Tomball average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
