Inwood is a one-tract suburb of Houston, TX, population 4,460. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 44%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Houston rate of 32.1%. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 59%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
This is a renter market: 95% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average household income of $34,683 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
At $1,066 a month, rents sit 22% under what the rest of Houston commands. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, North Shadydale and Grand Vista Lakes score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
