Millview West is a one-tract neighborhood of San Marcos, TX and houses 2,421 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 7.3/10, in the Elevated tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the San Marcos rate of 39.8%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. 94% 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. Set annual rent against average household income of $32,157 and the ratio lands at 44%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
30% 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. Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10.
The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,188, 10% below the San Marcos average of $1,322.
That places it #1 of 7 neighborhoods in San Marcos. For a like-for-like read, East Guadalupe and Fairlawn score within a fraction of it.
One tract means one number: 7.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
