Sharpstown Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

Against Harris County at 49.5%, around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened. 99% 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.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 49.8% against 31.5% nationally.

The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.7/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $37,874 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,030, 24% below the Houston average.

It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
