Average gross rent is $965, 29% below the Houston average of $1,361. around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Court records for this tract carry 17 eviction filings.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 3.5% of renter households.
That places it #108 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Judgments average 1.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, 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 $42,895. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.3/10 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.
