Wasson Place maps to a single census tract in Big Spring, TX and houses 3,757 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. At $1,295 a month, rents sit 23% over what the rest of Big Spring commands. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10.
The voucher gap is 14.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.8/10.
Against a Big Spring baseline of 30.8%, 34% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. For a like-for-like read, Brennard and Edwards Hills score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
