Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fairchilds
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 5.6/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Fairchilds, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below 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 White and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 78th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 146 eviction filings here over 14 tracked years, with about 6.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 8.4% of renter households in 2016.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
