Creekmont maps to a single census tract in La Porte, TX and houses 5,023 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Average gross rent is $1,872, 36% above the La Porte average of $1,378. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10. Cost burden runs 30% against 38.4% citywide, putting Creekmont 8.6% under its own city.
The voucher gap is 22.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Court records for this tract carry 149 eviction filings. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.4/10.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 12.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.6% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #1 of 4 neighborhoods in La Porte. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Bayside Terrace and Fairmont Park West score within a fraction of it.
One tract means one number: 3.8/10 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.
