Bayou Place is a 2-tract neighborhood of Meadows Place, TX, population 10,880. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Meadows Place baseline of 36.9%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.7 to 5.5, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10.
Court records carry 1,164 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 19.4% of renter households. Judgments average 3.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Average gross rent runs $1,612, close to the Meadows Place average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $81,610. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
