West Harvey Eviction Risk: Elevated

24% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. 21.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 5.9 to 8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 7.9/10.

The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.6/10.

Filings are well documented here: 4,363 across 6 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 19.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 7.2% in 2015, is well off that peak.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 42% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Average gross rent runs $971, close to the Harvey average.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 7.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
