Tallowwood maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 6,528 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, roughly one in two 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 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,687, 24% above the Houston average of $1,361.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The voucher gap is 10.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. The closest comparables inside the same city are Porter Ranch and Longwood Village.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $75,407.
31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
