Woodcrest maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 4,233 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 13% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $1,909 a month, rents sit 40% over what the rest of Houston commands. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
The voucher gap is 24.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village.
Rent takes 14% 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. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
