Colony Creek Village Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,329 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Colony Creek Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 5,329. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $2,219 a month, rents sit 63% over what the rest of Houston commands.

The voucher gap is 45.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 20% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 9.5/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.

That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Porter Ranch and Longwood Village. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $112,500.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
