Covington Bridge maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 2,288. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $2,212 a month, rents sit 63% over what the rest of Houston commands.
The voucher gap is 44.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 9.5/10.
Cost burden runs about one in five against 32.1% citywide, putting Covington Bridge 10.9% under its own city. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $113,548.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
