Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mykawa

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 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.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.2% against 31.5% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,058, 22% below the Houston average. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0.

Against Harris County at 49.5%, 44% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

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