· range 3–3
Willow Springs maps to a single census tract in Heath, TX and houses 5,494 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 100% 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.
Against a Heath baseline of 16.9%, 100% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At 1% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
