Lakes of Buckingham maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 2,202 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $3,403, 150% 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 122.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 33% of renter households. The filing record is not thin: 11 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 9.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2014, is well off that peak.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $191,750.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
