West High Oaks maps to a single census tract in The Woodlands, TX and houses 3,877 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.1/10.
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. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 31% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,668, 8% below the The Woodlands average of $1,822.
That places it #5 of 25 neighborhoods in The Woodlands. For a like-for-like read, Saint Peter's Gate and Peaceful Canyon score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
