Kendall Hollow Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 10,659 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Kendall Hollow is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 10,659. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 70% 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.

Cost burden runs 70% against 32.1% citywide, putting Kendall Hollow 37.6% over its own city. Average gross rent is $2,676, 97% above the Houston average of $1,361.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 75.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third.

At 9% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village.

Against average income of $164,646, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
