Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Maplewood South/North

The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. At $3,156 a month, rents run 132% over what the rest of Houston commands.

The voucher gap is 106.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 16 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2015 at 47.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 11.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 9% 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 1.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
