Crestmont Park is a 3-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 11,343. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 32.1% citywide, putting Crestmont Park 19.4% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.4 to 5.1, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,145, 16% below the Houston average of $1,361. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #99 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, High Oaks and Houmont Park score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $54,739. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
