Clear Lake City Eviction Risk: Lower , Houston

87% 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. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Harris County average of 49.5%. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0.

The filing record is not thin: 942 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2009 at 14.9% of renter households. In a typical year about 9.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.8/10.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, 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.
