Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Briargrove
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
70% 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. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 178 filings here across 7 tracked years.
At $1,502 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Houston commands. The worst year on record was 2009, when 4.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.8/10.
