What drives eviction risk in Mahatma Gandhi District
Cost burden runs 79% here against 49.5% across Harris County. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 45.4% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 57%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 83% 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, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $31,531, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Average gross rent is $931, 32% below the Houston average.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. Disability prevalence runs 48.2% against 31.5% nationally.
Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
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.
