· range 3–3
Genoa maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 3,489. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.1/10. 70% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $1,201 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Houston commands. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third.
Against average income of $76,731, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. 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.
