Lazybrook spans 2 census tracts of Houston, TX, population 7,812. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Houston rate of 32.1%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 18% 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. Filings are well documented here: 177 across 2 observed tracts.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. At $1,566 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Houston commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 5.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
