Minnetex is a one-tract suburb of Houston, TX and houses 5,010 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.6/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,585, 16% above the Houston average of $1,361. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #176 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Creekstone Village and Wimbledon Park score within a fraction of it. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
