Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Generation Park

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0.

At $1,535 a month, rents run 13% over what the rest of Houston commands. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 23% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $117,734, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
