Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Chimneystone

The voucher gap is 43.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 9.4/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 65 filings here across 13 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Fort Bend County average of 3.8.

Average gross rent is $2,195, 12% above the Sugar Land average. Filings peaked in 2005 at 2.6% of renter households.

In a typical year about 2.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 5% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

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.
