Stone Lake Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,911 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Stone Lake is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 6,911 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 70%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Houston rate of 32.1%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.

The filing record is not thin: 36 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 6.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.7% in 2015, is well off that peak.

That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Only 3% 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. For a like-for-like read, Porter Ranch and Telge Ranch score within a fraction of it.

Poverty sits at 3%, 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. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
