The Courts at Auburn Lakes is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 4,586. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 48% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Houston rate of 32.1%.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
15% 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.

Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 12.1% of renter households. At $1,484 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Houston commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 9.1% in 2015 against a 12.1% peak.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third. Against average income of $137,033, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
