Mahatma Gandhi District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.4/10. The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Disability prevalence runs 51.3% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

At $896 a month, rents run 34% under what the rest of Houston commands. This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $32,215, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 183 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2009 at 2.1% of renter households.

In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
