What drives eviction risk in Kashmere Gardens
What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.8/10. Annualized rent equals 48% of average household income of $22,982, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs 63% here against 49.5% across Harris County.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 29.9% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $923, 32% below the Houston average.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.4% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 667 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2015, when 29.0% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Houston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
