Friendswood Eviction Risk: Lower

Against Galveston County at 46.2%, 69% of renters here are cost-burdened. The voucher gap is 40.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.1/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10. At $2,150 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of Friendswood commands.

It sits 1.0 points below the Galveston County average of 4.0. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 20% 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 4/10, 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. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
