Generation Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 5,682. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. roughly three in four of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Houston rate of 32.1%.
The main counterweight 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. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. At $1,535 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Houston commands.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Only 23% 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. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
