Champions West takes in 2 census tracts of Houston, TX and houses 9,190 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, Moderate 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.
Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 82% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.8 to 5.1. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
At $1,614 a month, rents sit 19% over what the rest of Houston commands. That places it #99 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $78,809.
39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
