Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Inverness Forest

Adults with no health insurance runs 28.6% against 11.3% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,754, 29% above the Houston average.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0.

The voucher gap is 14.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.6/10.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters.

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