1 census tracts · pop 4,808 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10
· range 3–3
Gettysburg maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 4,808. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 51% 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.
66% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Houston rate of 32.1%. At $2,539 a month, rents sit 87% over what the rest of Houston commands.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 66.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third.
Only 12% 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. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $125,346.
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.
