Ashford Eviction Risk: Lower , Houston

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

At $1,629 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of Houston commands. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 5% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.2/10. Against average income of $132,791, annual rent is just 15%.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
