Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brookhaven

The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 26.2% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. Court records carry 759 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2009 at 26.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 14.4% of renter households face a filing.
