What drives eviction risk in Vassar Place
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,807, 33% above the Houston average.
75% 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. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
Disability prevalence runs 18.2% against 31.5% nationally. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The voucher gap is 18.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 146 evictions over 7 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2011 at 2.2% of renter households.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
