What drives eviction risk in Whispering Oaks
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress 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. At $1,473 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Houston commands.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $103,021, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
