Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sand Creek

The voucher gap is 43.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.4/10. Cost burden runs 63% here against 49.5% across Harris County.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 11% 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 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $152,857, annual rent is just 17%. 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.

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.
