What drives eviction risk in Magnolia Park
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 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 $1,043, 23% below the Houston average.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 47% of renters.
It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $59,896.
43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
