Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greenspoint

Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Disability prevalence runs 51.9% against 31.5% nationally. Cost burden runs 62% here against 49.5% across Harris County.

79% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.

Average gross rent is $999, 27% below the Houston average. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0.

Court records carry 178 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 7.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 4.1% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.2/10.

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.
