Silverdale takes in 3 census tracts of Houston, TX and houses 10,800 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Cost burden runs 43% against 32.1% citywide, putting Silverdale 10.6% over its own city. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.7/10. At $1,022 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Houston commands.
The poverty rate is 26%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 15% 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.
Court records carry 1,300 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 19.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 5.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. The closest comparables inside the same city are East Houston and Grand Vista Lakes.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 3 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $45,468.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
