Paloma Lake maps to a single census tract in Round Rock, TX, population 9,103. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $2,476 a month, rents sit 40% over what the rest of Round Rock commands.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.
The voucher gap is 27.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 30% of renter households. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.7/10.
That places it #16 of 21 neighborhoods in Round Rock. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Oak Creek and The Oaklands score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% 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.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
