· range 5.1–5.1
North Shadydale is a 6-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 17,973 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 32% 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.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Set annual rent against average household income of $43,234 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 2,356 across 6 observed tracts.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,167, 14% below the Houston average of $1,361.
The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 46.2% of renter households. That places it #1 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
Judgments average 8.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, East Houston and Grand Vista Lakes score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
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.
