Woodland Heights Eviction Risk: Lower
5 census tracts · pop 17,576 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3
Woodland Heights spans 5 census tracts of Houston, TX and houses 17,576 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10. 30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records carry 188 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 2.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.0% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village.
Against average income of $152,696, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 5 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,383, close to the Houston average.
35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
