Bayou Lakes is a one-tract neighborhood of Dickinson, TX and houses 2,713 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 44% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Against a Dickinson baseline of 28.9%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10.
Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,369, 11% above the Dickinson average of $1,231. Only 27% 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.
For a like-for-like read, Northpointe and Vittoria score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $123,399, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
