· range 4.1–4.1
Terra Nova maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 2,332 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 37% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Houston rate of 32.1%. This is a renter market: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,199, 12% below the Houston average of $1,361. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #126 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Fallbrook Greens and Twin Oaks Village. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $55,504.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
