Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westbury

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 55 filings here across 7 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,226, 10% below the Houston average.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 4.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $92,279, annual rent is just 16%.

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.

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