Edwards Hills maps to a single census tract in Big Spring, TX, population 3,718. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Big Spring baseline of 30.8%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. This is a renter market: 65% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10. 11% 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 economic stress at 7.4/10.
At $907 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Big Spring commands. The closest comparables inside the same city are Brennard and Wasson Place.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $39,911.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
