Maple Ridge Place is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 7,944. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 43%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 60% against 32.1% citywide, putting Maple Ridge Place 27.5% over its own city. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 153 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 6.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.6% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #46 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Grants Trace and Mayfair score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,375, close to the Houston average.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $57,235.
One tract means one number: 5/10 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.
