Parkglen West takes in 3 census tracts of Houston, TX, population 11,696. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 32.1% citywide, putting Parkglen West 17.7% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.1, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #99 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,363, close to the Houston average.
Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $59,411. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
