Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Gulf Palms
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Harris County average of 4.0.
That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 4% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8/10. Of its three components the household composition 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.
