· range 3.1–4.7
Brennard spans 2 census tracts of Big Spring, TX and houses 6,426 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.1 to 4.7, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10.
32% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Severe burden reaches 8%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
For a like-for-like read, Wasson Place and Edwards Hills score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $1,083, close to the Big Spring average. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
