Sarita Valley is a one-tract neighborhood of Leander, TX and houses 2,995 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Leander rate of 28.4%.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10.
Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Leander, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Grand Mesa at Crystal Falls and Travisso score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,912, close to the Leander average. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
