Kashmere Gardens is a 6-tract suburb of Houston, TX and houses 15,643 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, Moderate tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Houston rate of 32.1%.
33% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Set annual rent against average household income of $35,417 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Average gross rent is $980, 28% below the Houston average of $1,361. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 29%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filings are well documented here: 3,090 across 6 observed tracts. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 29.0% of renter households. That places it #46 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Judgments average 8.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
