Quaker Heights takes in 8 census tracts of Lubbock, TX and houses 23,385 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. 21% 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. At $894 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Lubbock commands.
Scores across the 8 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.6. A 1.6-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Lubbock rate of 33.1%. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2/10.
That places it #8 of 11 neighborhoods in Lubbock. For a like-for-like read, Ironton and The Ridge score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
