Legacy Place Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,423 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Legacy Place maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 4,423 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $2,603, 91% above the Houston average of $1,361.

The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 70.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

24% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, lower than the Houston rate of 32.1%. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. At 24% 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. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 5%, 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.
