Plantation maps to a single census tract in Laredo, TX and houses 7,533 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 46% 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 Laredo baseline of 32.2%, 77% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $2,562, 149% above the Laredo average of $1,030. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 118.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.
That places it #22 of 29 neighborhoods in Laredo. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Century City and Alexander. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $113,252.
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.
