Soaring Pines is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 6,841. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.5/10. 29% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, a little below the Houston rate of 32.1%.
Average gross rent is $1,246, 8% below the Houston average of $1,361. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #164 by risk, the middle third.
Only 24% 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 Spring Branch West and Prestonwood Park. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $60,470.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
