Edgebrook is a 2-tract suburb of Houston, TX and houses 8,838 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 55% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.9 to 5.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The filing record is not thin: 158 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 15.7% of renter households.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #86 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 5.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Brookwood Forest and Southmore Plaza.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,298, close to the Houston average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $54,673.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
