What drives eviction risk in Lamar Terrace
Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 49.5% across Harris County. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.
Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $53,125, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 72% 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. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. At $1,666 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Houston commands.
Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely.
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.
