Parkway Ranch spans 2 census tracts of Houston, TX, population 11,843. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 63% against 32.1% citywide, putting Parkway Ranch 31.0% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 632 eviction filings. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.7/10.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 14.8% of renter households. At $1,238 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Houston commands.
The most recent observed rate, 8.3% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #176 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
For a like-for-like read, Creekstone Village and Wimbledon Park score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
