Rustling Pines maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 1,724 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, Lower tier. This is a renter market: 86% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 17% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 335 evictions logged in this tract. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 29% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 8.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #176 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Creekstone Village and Wimbledon Park. Average gross rent runs $1,378, close to the Houston average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $80,234.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
