Fleetwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 2,993. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,815, 33% above the Houston average of $1,361. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
22% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Houston rate of 32.1%. The voucher gap is 18.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions logged in this tract.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 1.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
Against average income of $143,371, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
