North By Northwest takes in 5 census tracts of Lubbock, TX and houses 20,111 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 33.1% citywide, putting North By Northwest 13.3% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 24% 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. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2/10.
At $1,355 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Lubbock commands. The voucher gap is 13.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
That places it #5 of 11 neighborhoods in Lubbock. For a like-for-like read, Mackenzie Park and South Overton score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $71,659. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
