Knox Thompson is a one-tract neighborhood of Cleburne, TX, population 3,349. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 32.3% citywide, putting Knox Thompson 24.4% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 8.3/10. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10.
Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Cleburne, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,297, close to the Cleburne average. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
