Audubon Place Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 3,554 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3–3.5

Audubon Place spans 2 census tracts of Houston, TX and houses 3,554 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 59% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Average gross rent is $1,969, 45% above the Houston average of $1,361. Set annual rent against average household income of $55,328 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 28.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. 25% 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.

Running hot is supply constraint at 7.7/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #207 by risk, the middle third.

For a like-for-like read, Kings Forest and Addicks score within a fraction of it. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes.

61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
