Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ashford Hills

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $998, 27% below the Houston average. Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Cost burden runs 55% here against 49.5% across Harris County. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.9/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $38,808.

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.
