Louetta Lakes is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 8,636 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
34% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,733, 27% above the Houston average of $1,361.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 103 eviction filings. The voucher gap is 13.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.8/10. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 11.0% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 4.5% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #207 by risk, the middle third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $79,731. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
