Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Crestmont

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $48,137, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Disability prevalence runs 43.7% against 31.5% nationally.

Adults with no health insurance runs 23.0% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 272 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2013, when 12.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 10.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
