Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Briargrove
The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income of $40,167, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Harris County average of 49.5%. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.2/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
Average gross rent is $1,335, close to the Houston average.
