Park Creek maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 9,967. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower 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.
Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 71% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $2,616, 92% above the Houston average of $1,361.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 71.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.4/10. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Porter Ranch and Longwood Village. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $111,415.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
