Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Houston
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Average gross rent is $1,654, 22% above the Houston average. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.7% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.
Cost burden runs 54% here against 49.5% across Harris County. Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 6.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $94,133.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
