Kemah Eviction Risk: Lower

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 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

At $2,149 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of Kemah commands. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 2.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Galveston County average of 4.0 closely.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $96,818. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
