Grand Vista Lakes Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 10,676 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

Grand Vista Lakes maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 10,676. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 66% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Average gross rent is $1,912, 40% above the Houston average of $1,361. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

23% 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. The voucher gap is 25.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.5/10. That places it #1 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.

Only 10% 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. For a like-for-like read, East Houston and Royal Crest score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $93,876.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
