Star Ridge maps to a single census tract in The Woodlands, TX, population 8,562. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The voucher gap is 39.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 9/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.1/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
36% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the The Woodlands rate of 28.4%. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. At $2,138 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of The Woodlands commands.
Among the 25 mapped neighborhoods of The Woodlands, it ranks #5 by risk, the upper third. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
