Denver Harbor maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 5,157 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Houston rate of 32.1%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
At $1,039 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Houston commands. The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
12% 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 filing record is not thin: 85 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 3.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, East Houston and Grand Vista Lakes score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, 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 $49,050.
One tract means one number: 5.1/10 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.
