Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 45% 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.

Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 1,297 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 30.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 10.0% in 2015, is well off that peak. At $1,453 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Houston commands. That places it #108 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $63,877. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
