Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bayou Place

Adults with no health insurance runs 53.3% against 11.3% nationally. 65% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Harris County average of 49.5%.

96% 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 poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Disability prevalence runs 52.2% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. At $903 a month, rents run 34% under what the rest of Houston commands.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.8/10.

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