Copperfield Middlegate Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 7,920. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 54%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 94% against 32.1% citywide, putting Copperfield Middlegate Village 62.1% over its own city. Average gross rent is $2,051, 51% above the Houston average of $1,361. The voucher gap is 34.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Running hot is supply constraint at 8.4/10.
Court records for this tract carry 117 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 9.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.4% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $86,843.
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.
