Fort Bend Houston takes in 2 census tracts of Houston, TX and houses 8,668 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.1/10. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.1/10.
Court records for this tract carry 760 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 15.8% of renter households. That places it #99 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Judgments average 8.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are High Oaks and Houmont Park.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $1,429, close to the Houston average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $77,918.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
