Telge Ranch is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 6,010 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 56%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
89% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Houston rate of 32.1%. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.
The filing record is not thin: 79 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 14.3% of renter households. At $1,474 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Houston commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 10.8% in 2015 against a 14.3% peak.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Only 8% 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.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Porter Ranch and Longwood Village. Against average income of $161,394, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion.
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.
