Hickory Creek maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 8,233. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 60% against 32.1% citywide, putting Hickory Creek 28.2% over its own city.
At $2,137 a month, rents sit 57% over what the rest of Houston commands. The voucher gap is 39.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the high side is supply constraint at 9/10. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third.
Against average income of $136,435, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
