· range 3–5.1
Timbercrest spans 2 census tracts of Houston, TX, population 4,868. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 62% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #135 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Westchester and Villages at Lakepointe. Average gross rent runs $1,343, close to the Houston average.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $61,795. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
