Shannon Forest is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 6,332 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 47%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third. At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Porter Ranch and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
