Westpark Village takes in 2 census tracts of Houston, TX, population 6,750. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 66% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.3 to 5.1. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
At $1,152 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Houston commands. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #121 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Gulf Palms and Royal Oaks Country Club. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $43,736.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
