Tower Oaks Plaza is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 2,029. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 33% 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.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
At $1,771 a month, rents sit 30% over what the rest of Houston commands. The voucher gap is 15.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Only 5% 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. For a like-for-like read, Porter Ranch and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $98,963.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
