Analysis

What drives eviction risk in North Shadydale

Severe burden reaches 29%. 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.

Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $45,260, 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. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 24.8% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 23%. 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.

The filing record is not thin: 161 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2009 at 20.4% of renter households.

In a typical year about 10.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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