Williamsburg Settlement maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 3,863 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
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 clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10. At $1,665 a month, rents sit 22% over what the rest of Houston commands.
The filing record is not thin: 29 evictions logged in this tract. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 2.3% of renter households.
That places it #219 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Judgments average 12.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Canterbury Forest and Timbergrove Green. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 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.
