Westheimer Place takes in 2 census tracts of Houston, TX, population 10,477. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 32.1% citywide, putting Westheimer Place 23.9% over its own city.
29% 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 economic stress, at 2.1/10. At $1,641 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Houston commands.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 470 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 16.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 8.6% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #207 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Kings Forest and Addicks. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
