Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Clear Lake Shores
about three-quarters of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Galveston County average of 46.2%. This is renter territory: 97% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $52,702, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.9/10.
At $1,632 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Clear Lake Shores commands. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Galveston County average of 4.0 closely.
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.
