Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Canfield Oaks
At $338 a month, rents run 75% under what the rest of Houston commands. The poverty rate is 60%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
This is renter territory: 87% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.
It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.0% against 11.3% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,044 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 33.4% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. In a typical year about 24.9% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
