Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lindale Park
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.
At $1,122 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Houston commands. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened. Court records carry 77 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2011, when 3.9% 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 2.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.9/10.
