Avalon Place Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,215 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Avalon Place is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 2,215 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $2,247 a month, rents sit 65% over what the rest of Houston commands.

The voucher gap is 47.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 9.7/10.

Cost burden runs 43% against 32.1% citywide, putting Avalon Place 11.1% over its own city. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 16% 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. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $122,569.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
