1 census tracts · pop 9,577 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10
· range 3–3
Bridge Lake maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 9,577. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. At $2,107 a month, rents sit 55% over what the rest of Houston commands.
The voucher gap is 37.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Cost burden runs 42% against 32.1% citywide, putting Bridge Lake 10.1% over its own city.
Running hot is supply constraint at 8.8/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $112,713.
33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
