Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kashmere Gardens

At $916 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of Houston commands. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $32,240, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Adults with no health insurance runs 27.6% against 11.3% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The worst year on record was 2014, when 21.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 14.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most 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.
