Meisterwood maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 3,617 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Houston rate of 32.1%.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 132 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 14.2% of renter households. At $1,232 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Houston commands. The most recent observed rate, 4.2% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #219 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Canterbury Forest and Timbergrove Green score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
