Chinatown Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

100% 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. Disability prevalence runs 51.7% against 31.5% nationally.

61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Harris County average of 49.5%. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

At $986 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Houston commands. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.5/10.
