Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Houston
Against Harris County at 49.5%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened. 73% 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.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.1% against 11.3% nationally.
It sits 0.8 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. Average gross rent is $1,225, 10% below the Houston average. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $69,492.
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.
