Central City Eviction Risk: Lower , Houston

Cost burden runs 63% here against 49.5% across Harris County. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. At $1,834 a month, rents run 35% over what the rest of Houston commands.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 65% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The voucher gap is 20.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

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. That is riskier than roughly 35% 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 housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely.

Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $74,635.

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.
