Calgary Woods Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 6,937 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

Calgary Woods spans 2 census tracts of Houston, TX, population 6,937. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Houston rate of 32.1%. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Set annual rent against average household income of $40,563 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is economic stress at 8.1/10.

Filings are well documented here: 104 across 2 observed tracts. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,200, 12% below the Houston average of $1,361.

The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 11.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.

For a like-for-like read, East Houston and Grand Vista Lakes score within a fraction of it.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
