Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Linkwood

What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10. At $2,363 a month, rents run 74% over what the rest of Houston commands. The voucher gap is 54.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Disability prevalence runs 19.4% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 20 eviction filings across 6 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 3.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

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.
