Willow Falls maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 1,846 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 42%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Houston rate of 32.1%. Average gross rent is $2,205, 62% above the Houston average of $1,361.
The voucher gap is 44.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 9.4/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
At 7% 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 Porter Ranch and Telge Ranch. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $116,188.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
