Falcon Ranch Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,840 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Falcon Ranch is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 5,840 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 92% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Houston rate of 32.1%.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,822, 34% above the Houston average of $1,361. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

19% 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 voucher gap is 19.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
