Memorial Parkway is a 2-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 8,898 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 39%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 64% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,546, 14% above the Houston average of $1,361. That places it #230 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.2 points apart at the extremes.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $81,350. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
