Hidden Valley maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 4,206. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 69%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 85% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $53,452 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. At $1,729 a month, rents sit 27% over what the rest of Houston commands.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 95 evictions logged in this tract.
The voucher gap is 13.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 15.2% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 7.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #108 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
