Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fern Bluff

roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Williamson County average of 43.5%. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.3/10.

9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.8 points below the Williamson County average of 3.8. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $2,107, close to the Brushy Creek average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
