Fort Bend Houston Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.9 points above the Fort Bend County average of 3.8. Court records carry 760 eviction filings across 14 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 15.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 13.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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.
