Oak Ridge Forest is a 2-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 11,541 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.2/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
At $1,681 a month, rents sit 24% over what the rest of Houston commands. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Houston rate of 32.1%.
That places it #150 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. The closest comparables inside the same city are Courtlandt Place and Dearborn Place. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $92,296.
29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
