Rice Military is a 2-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 6,340 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. At $2,014 a month, rents sit 48% over what the rest of Houston commands.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 31.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Cost burden runs 43% against 32.1% citywide, putting Rice Military 10.5% over its own city. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.2/10.
On the high side is supply constraint at 8.2/10. The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. For a like-for-like read, Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
