Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Genoa

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10. This is renter territory: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.9% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,201 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Houston commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $76,731.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
