Millview East is a one-tract neighborhood of San Marcos, TX and houses 1,829 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7.3/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Severe burden reaches 40%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. Against a San Marcos baseline of 39.8%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 88% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 34%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10.

For a like-for-like read, East Guadalupe and Fairlawn score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $42,072.
One tract means one number: 7.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
