Leyland Shores is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 8,856 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $1,669 a month, rents sit 23% over what the rest of Houston commands.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. 10% 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.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Only 13% 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. For a like-for-like read, Porter Ranch and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 14% 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.
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.
