Montecruz maps to a single census tract in Mission, TX, population 5,468. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
Against a Mission baseline of 27.6%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $1,132, 19% above the Mission average of $950. The voucher gap is 14.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
8% 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. That places it #5 of 7 neighborhoods in Mission. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Orchards at Shary Road and Shary Forest score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 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.
