Greens Bayou takes in 2 census tracts of Houston, TX and houses 11,414 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
34% 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. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Filings are well documented here: 380 across 2 observed tracts. The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 7.1% of renter households.
At $1,240 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Houston commands. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #108 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 3.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Hidden Valley and Manchester score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 2 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $62,108.
28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
