1 census tracts · pop 4,033 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.9/10
· range 4.9–4.9
Eastwood maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 4,033. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.9/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 52% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10. At $1,063 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Houston commands. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Court records for this tract carry 128 eviction filings. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 5.5% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.2% in 2015 against a 5.5% peak. That places it #55 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
