Southgate Eviction Risk: Lower , Houston

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 76% 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. At $1,773 a month, rents run 30% over what the rest of Houston commands.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Harris County average of 49.5%. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

Disability prevalence runs 17.8% against 31.5% nationally. The voucher gap is 16.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely.

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.
