Southgate Eviction Risk: Lower , Houston

At $1,830 a month, rents run 34% over what the rest of Houston commands. Severe burden reaches 22%. 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. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

The voucher gap is 19.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 44% 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. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.3/10.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $155,855, an unusually wide affordability cushion. 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. 61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
