Westwood South Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.5/10. 98% 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. 64% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Harris County average of 49.5%.

At $839 a month, rents run 38% under what the rest of Houston commands. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 10/10, 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.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $35,020.

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.
