Willowbrook Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Cost burden runs 39% against 32.1% citywide, putting Willowbrook 6.6% over its own city. Court records for this tract carry 293 eviction filings.

On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 8.0% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Porter Ranch and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $1,293, close to the Houston average.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
