Meyerland Eviction Risk: Lower , Houston

At $2,412 a month, rents run 77% over what the rest of Houston commands. The voucher gap is 57.8%: 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.

Cost burden runs 38% here against 49.5% across Harris County. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

19% 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 18.9% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. The filing record is not thin: 17 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2009 at 6.7% of renter households.

In a typical year about 2.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 12% 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.
