Sharpstown Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,616, 19% above the Houston average.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 43 evictions over 7 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 3.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.7/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 46% of renters.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
