Houmont Park takes in 2 census tracts of Houston, TX and houses 11,154 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 61% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Houston rate of 32.1%.
The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.2/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.1 to 5.1. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,589, 17% above the Houston average of $1,361. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #99 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are High Oaks and Champions West. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $65,777. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
