Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Park Westheimer

The voucher gap is 44.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Cost burden runs 58% here against 42.8% across Fort Bend County.

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.5/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Fort Bend County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $108,626.

30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
