Jack's Pond takes in 3 census tracts of Wells Branch, TX, population 12,307. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Wells Branch rate of 31.8%.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. At $1,766 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Wells Branch commands.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
