Analysis

What drives eviction risk in New Territory

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 5.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Fort Bend County average of 4.8 and below the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is Asian and Black and ranks around the 71st 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.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
