Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Maplewood South/North

62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Harris County average of 49.5%. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

69% 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. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0.

Adults with no health insurance runs 20.5% against 11.3% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
