Settegast is a one-tract suburb of Houston, TX and houses 5,795 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 64%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 88% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 279 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 10.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.6% in 2015 against a 10.7% peak. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are North Shadydale and Grand Vista Lakes. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 5.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
