Copperfield Place maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 7,731. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 32.1% citywide, putting Copperfield Place 13.3% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.
The filing record is not thin: 656 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. 9% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 16.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.2% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Against average income of $90,625, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,353, close to the Houston average.
53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
