Briarhills is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 3,614 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 46%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Houston rate of 32.1%. Average gross rent is $3,396, 150% above the Houston average of $1,361. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 122.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $138,571.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
