Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greenway / Upper Kirby

Average gross rent is $1,939, 42% above the Houston average. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. The voucher gap is 26.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Disability prevalence runs 17.5% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 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 socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $119,267. 60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
