Gulfton Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. At $875 a month, rents run 36% under what the rest of Houston commands.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. 78% 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.

The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Against Harris County at 49.5%, 44% of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 8.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
