Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brays Oaks

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 55 filings here across 7 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2011 at 13.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 13.3% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 2% 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.

Social vulnerability reads 3.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least 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.
