Villa d'Este is a 2-tract suburb of Houston, TX, population 11,232. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The voucher gap is 36.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Running hot is supply constraint at 7.8/10.
Court records for this tract carry 137 eviction filings. 34% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 9.3% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.0% in 2015 against a 9.3% peak.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third. At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
