Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brays Oaks

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $69,420 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The voucher gap is 22.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Nationally it ranks #54,273 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely. 25% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
