Victoria Heights is a 2-tract neighborhood of Edinburg, TX and houses 10,283 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 29% of renter households. 16% 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. The voucher gap is 19.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
At $1,187 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Edinburg commands. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.7/10. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
That places it #12 of 15 neighborhoods in Edinburg. For a like-for-like read, Summerfield and Big Valley score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $77,092, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
