Wildwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Joshua, TX and houses 6,888 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. 70% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Joshua rate of 39.6%.
What pushes the score up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9.1/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $1,213 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Joshua commands.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
