The Heritage is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 17,397. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 46% 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.
Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 75% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $2,032 a month, rents sit 49% over what the rest of Houston commands.
The voucher gap is 32.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.3/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Porter Ranch and Longwood Village. Against average income of $142,549, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
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.
