Mirror Lake is a one-tract neighborhood of The Woodlands, TX and houses 4,365 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.1/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Average gross rent is $1,409, 23% below the The Woodlands average of $1,822. Cost burden runs about a quarter against 28.4% citywide, putting Mirror Lake 5.0% under its own city.
Among the 25 mapped neighborhoods of The Woodlands, it ranks #5 by risk, the upper third. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Saint Peter's Gate and Maple Glade. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
