Willowbridge maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 4,360 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 58%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 95% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $2,572, 89% above the Houston average of $1,361. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 68.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Court records for this tract carry 25 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 28.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 12.0% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. Only 10% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
