Autumn Oaks takes in 2 census tracts of Houston, TX and houses 5,720 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 32.1% citywide, putting Autumn Oaks 16.5% over its own city.
30% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,785, 31% above the Houston average of $1,361.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.8. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The voucher gap is 16.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Court records carry 92 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 4.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.7% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #121 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. The closest comparables inside the same city are Gulf Palms and Royal Oaks Country Club.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $96,142. 33% 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.
