· range 3.7–5.1
Parkridge takes in 4 census tracts of Houston, TX and houses 19,622 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.7 to 5.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 746 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 22.6% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10. At $1,212 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Houston commands. The most recent observed rate, 8.2% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #76 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. For a like-for-like read, Westbranch and Lakewood Heights score within a fraction of it.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
