Village Place maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 4,479 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 60% against 32.1% citywide, putting Village Place 27.9% over its own city.
32% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 414 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 11.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.7% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #198 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Adobe Ridge and Stonegate Court score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $1,301, close to the Houston average. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
