1 census tracts · pop 8,533 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10
· range 3–3
Westgreen maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 8,533. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,985 a month, rents sit 46% over what the rest of Houston commands.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 29.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.
Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8/10.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $101,032.
39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
