Longwood Village Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,865 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Longwood Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 5,865 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way 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. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

The filing record is not thin: 62 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. At $1,578 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Houston commands.

Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 18.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.

At 4% 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 Porter Ranch and Telge Ranch. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 7%, 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.
