Windermere Lakes is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 4,679. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 32.1% citywide, putting Windermere Lakes 26.5% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
At $1,657 a month, rents sit 22% over what the rest of Houston commands. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.4/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. For a like-for-like read, Porter Ranch and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $103,434, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
