Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Briargrove

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0.

9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.3/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,359, close to the Houston average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $77,373.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
