Almeda is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 2,860 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Houston rate of 32.1%.
Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side is economic stress at 8.5/10. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are North Shadydale and Grand Vista Lakes. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $1,438, close to the Houston average. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.1/10 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.
