Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Meyerland

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $41,588, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.1% against 11.3% nationally.

At $1,148 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Houston commands. That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 51% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely.

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.
