Woodshire is a 2-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 4,585. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.4 to 4.4, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
36% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Houston rate of 32.1%. That places it #135 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. The closest comparables inside the same city are Westchester and Villages at Lakepointe.
Average gross rent runs $1,420, close to the Houston average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $78,038.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
