Town Center Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,889 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Town Center is a one-tract neighborhood of The Woodlands, TX and houses 3,889 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 42.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.2/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.1/10. This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Average gross rent is $2,171, 19% above the The Woodlands average of $1,822. 34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the The Woodlands rate of 28.4%.

Among the 25 mapped neighborhoods of The Woodlands, it ranks #5 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Saint Peter's Gate and Peaceful Canyon score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $118,939.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
