Oak Manor is a 3-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 7,189 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 40%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 49% against 32.1% citywide, putting Oak Manor 17.1% over its own city. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.7/10.
Average gross rent is $1,019, 25% below the Houston average of $1,361. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.8 to 5.1. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Court records for this tract carry 721 eviction filings.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 23.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 7.4% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #108 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $52,492. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
