Austinville takes in 2 census tracts of Houston, TX, population 17,436. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,918 a month, rents sit 41% over what the rest of Houston commands.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 25.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third.
Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $86,778. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
