What drives eviction risk in Meadowbrook
Adults with no health insurance runs 36.7% against 11.3% nationally. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.
Average gross rent is $933, 31% below the Houston average. Set annual rent against average income of $32,563 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
66% 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 cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.
That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most 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.
