· range 3.8–3.8
Woodgate maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX and houses 2,711 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 80%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 80% against 32.1% citywide, putting Woodgate 47.9% over its own city. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 150 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 21.7% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 18.1% in 2015 against a 21.7% peak. That places it #157 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
