Lakes at Grand Harbor is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 14,668. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 32.1% citywide, putting Lakes at Grand Harbor 18.1% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
25% 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. Average gross rent is $1,719, 26% above the Houston average of $1,361. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
The filing record is not thin: 440 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The voucher gap is 12.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 8.8% of renter households. That places it #207 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
Judgments average 3.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Kings Forest and Addicks.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
