Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hunterwood

31% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 30.9% against 11.3% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The filing record is not thin: 531 evictions over 7 years of observation. It sits 0.8 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. The worst year on record was 2015, when 20.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 17.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
