Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Houston
At $1,242 a month, rents run 43% over what the rest of Houston commands. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.4/10.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.9/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 141 filings here across 9 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2013 at 10.0% of renter households.
In a typical year about 7.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.6/10. It tracks the Kent County average of 4.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $71,146.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
