Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pheasant Creek

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 8.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Fort Bend County average of 4.8 and in line with the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is Black and White and ranks around the 47th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 298 eviction filings here over 14 tracked years, with about 6.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 6.7% of renter households in 2016.
