Savanna Ranch Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,663 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Savanna Ranch is a one-tract neighborhood of Leander, TX and houses 3,663 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.4/10.

Cost burden runs 21% against 28.4% citywide, putting Savanna Ranch 7.5% under its own city. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.6/10. The voucher gap is 13.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

At $2,218 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Leander commands. That places it #2 of 9 neighborhoods in Leander.

At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Northcreek Ranch and The Fairways at Crystal Falls score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $128,750.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 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.
