Kleinwood Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,445 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Kleinwood maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 3,445 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 32.1% citywide, putting Kleinwood 15.8% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 24% 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. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10.

Court records for this tract carry 349 eviction filings. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. At $1,562 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Houston commands.

Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 9.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 6.2% in 2015 against a 9.2% peak. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.

Against average income of $95,105, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
