Highland Horizon is a 3-tract neighborhood of Brushy Creek, TX, population 16,205. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 26.1% citywide, putting Highland Horizon 22.4% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $1,241 a month, rents sit 42% under what the rest of Brushy Creek commands.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Stone Canyon and Fern Bluff. Against average income of $125,741, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
