Silvermill is a 3-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 11,238 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 32.1% citywide, putting Silvermill 30.1% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
At $1,829 a month, rents sit 34% over what the rest of Houston commands. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10. The voucher gap is 19.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
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 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $87,517.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
