Independence Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

Adults with no health insurance runs 39.5% against 11.3% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. This is renter territory: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. Disability prevalence runs 47.8% against 31.5% nationally.

At $967 a month, rents run 29% under what the rest of Houston commands. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 15% 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.

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.
