Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Denver Harbor
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,039, 24% below the Houston average. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Court records carry 85 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2010, when 3.6% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
