· range 3.6–3.6
Brentwood Lakes maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 4,189 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
At $1,807 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of Houston commands. 24% 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 poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The voucher gap is 18.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Cost burden runs around a third against 32.1% citywide, putting Brentwood Lakes 3.1% over its own city.
That places it #176 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Creekstone Village and Wimbledon Park score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $107,961.
One tract means one number: 3.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
