Shadow Hills takes in 3 census tracts of Lubbock, TX, population 10,692. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Lubbock rate of 33.1%.
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 rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool 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. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,311 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Lubbock commands. That places it #6 of 11 neighborhoods in Lubbock.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Ironton and Mackenzie Park. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $69,893. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
