2 census tracts · pop 6,810 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10
· range 3–3
Southampton takes in 2 census tracts of Houston, TX and houses 6,810 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 32.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.5/10. 18% 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.
Running hot is supply constraint at 7.9/10. The filing record is not thin: 12 evictions logged in this tract. 29% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, a little below the Houston rate of 32.1%.
The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 1.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2014, is well off that peak. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
