What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
SNAP participation is 6.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Against average income of $131,250, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $2,183, close to the Southern Gateway average.
One tract means one number: 5.6/10 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.
