Boulevard Oaks maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 1,978 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,918, 41% above the Houston average of $1,361.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. 23% 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 voucher gap is 25.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Cost burden runs 27% against 32.1% citywide, putting Boulevard Oaks 4.7% under its own city. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third.
Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 9% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
