Memorial Hollow is a 2-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 10,159 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,890, 39% above the Houston average of $1,361.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.1, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The voucher gap is 23.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Filings are well documented here: 165 across 2 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.4/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 2.7% of renter households. Cost burden runs 35% against 32.1% citywide, putting Memorial Hollow 3.1% over its own city.
Recent filings have not receded much: 1.6% in 2015 against a 2.7% peak. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #164 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Spring Branch West and Prestonwood Park score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $123,758, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
