Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hawthorne Place

36% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Adults with no health insurance runs 50.7% against 11.3% nationally. Disability prevalence runs 53.2% against 31.5% nationally.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $41,985, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 389 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2014, when 23.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 13.6% of renter households face a filing.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
