Analysis

What drives eviction risk in River Oaks

Cost burden runs 73% here against 49.5% across Harris County. At $2,099 a month, rents run 73% over what the rest of Pasadena commands. The voucher gap is 37.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running hot, supply constraint reads 8.7/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 48 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2012 at 48.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 20.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $142,332, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
