Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lamar Terrace
Severe burden reaches 31%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 93% 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. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.
Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10. The voucher gap is 28.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 44% of renters here are cost-burdened.
It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
