Spring Lake is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 8,569 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $1,911, 40% above the Houston average of $1,361.
The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 25.0%: 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. Cost burden runs 37% against 32.1% citywide, putting Spring Lake 4.7% over its own city.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 10% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
