Memorial Heights Eviction Risk: Lower
3 census tracts · pop 9,522 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3
Memorial Heights is a 3-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 9,522. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,996, 47% above the Houston average of $1,361.
85% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 30.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
19% 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. Cost burden runs 40% against 32.1% citywide, putting Memorial Heights 7.5% over its own city.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.1/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $108,993.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
