Silver Oak Trails Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,937 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.2/10 · range 3.2–3.2

Silver Oak Trails is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 4,937. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 53%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

84% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Houston rate of 32.1%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #219 by risk, the middle third. At 27% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Against average income of $80,893, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,288, close to the Houston average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
