Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westridge

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Disability prevalence runs 19.2% against 31.5% nationally. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 1.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $128,056, 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 housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,464, close to the Houston average.

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