· range 3–3
Grand Oaks maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 9,967 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. At $2,270 a month, rents sit 67% over what the rest of Houston commands.
The voucher gap is 48.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.8/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
16% 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. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for around a third of renter households. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Only 5% 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 Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $105,534.
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.
