1 census tracts · pop 6,825 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10
· range 3–3
Verde Ridge maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 6,825. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 39%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
67% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Houston rate of 32.1%. Average gross rent is $2,198, 61% above the Houston average of $1,361. The voucher gap is 43.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 9.4/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.4/10. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $124,707.
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.
