Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hunters Ridge

Cost burden runs 74% here against 49.5% across Harris County. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $58,902 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,684, 24% above the Houston average. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

It sits 0.9 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 254 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 7.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 6.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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.
