Cost burden runs 43% against 32.1% citywide, putting Northwest Park Place 10.8% over its own city. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10.
14% 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 filing record is not thin: 165 evictions logged in this tract.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 5.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #219 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Canterbury Forest and Timbergrove Green.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes.
Average gross rent runs $1,389, close to the Houston average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $70,777.
38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 3.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
