Copperfield Southdown Village Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,460 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Copperfield Southdown Village maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 2,460 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Houston rate of 32.1%.

At $2,167 a month, rents sit 59% over what the rest of Houston commands. The voucher gap is 41.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.2/10. The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.4/10.

The filing record is not thin: 23 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 8.3% of renter households.

Recent filings have not receded much: 6.3% in 2015 against a 8.3% peak. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.

At 7% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
