Fern Bluff maps to a single census tract in Brushy Creek, TX, population 3,964. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10. 32% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Brushy Creek rate of 26.1%. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Against average income of $139,622, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $2,107, close to the Brushy Creek average.
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.
