Hamlin's Woodland is a 8-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 27,744 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 32.1% citywide, putting Hamlin's Woodland 13.2% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 25% 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 8 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.1, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Filings are well documented here: 994 across 4 observed tracts. Average gross rent is $1,146, 16% below the Houston average of $1,361.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 24.0% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 9.2% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #86 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $59,560. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
