Oakland Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 3,465 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs about one in five against 32.1% citywide, putting Oakland Village 14.1% under its own city.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 18% 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. Running cool is economic stress, at 2/10.
The filing record is not thin: 166 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 63.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.5% in 2015, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,274, 6% below the Houston average of $1,361.
That places it #230 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. The closest comparables inside the same city are Copperbrook and Briscoe Falls. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
