Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Pecan Park

The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
Average gross rent is $1,032, 24% below the Houston average. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
It sits 1.0 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. Court records carry 87 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2015 at 7.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Houston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
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.
