What drives eviction risk in The Cove
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. At $2,433 a month, rents run 79% over what the rest of Houston commands.
The voucher gap is 59.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 35% of renters here are cost-burdened.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.
It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. Court records carry 25 eviction filings across 6 observed years. The worst year on record was 2014, when 26.1% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 16.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 6% 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.
Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 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. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
