Sundown Glen Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,236 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Sundown Glen maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 3,236. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 8% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,527, 12% above the Houston average of $1,361. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third. Only 13% 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.

Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, 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.
