Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. 16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,451, close to the Houston average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $70,180. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
