Hemwick Place Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,456 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Hemwick Place maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 5,456 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. At $1,537 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of Houston commands.

That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Only 16% 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.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $82,772.

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.
