What drives eviction risk in Riverside Terrace
At $2,166 a month, rents run 59% over what the rest of Houston commands. The voucher gap is 41.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.2/10.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
Disability prevalence runs 18.2% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 1.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $160,592, 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 household composition 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.
