Champion Lake is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 5,208 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Severe burden reaches 8%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #187 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Forest Village and The Lakes At Highland Glen score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,320, close to the Houston average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 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.
