Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
The voucher gap is 19.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.
The filing record is not thin: 25 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2009 at 0.6% of renter households.
In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 4% 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.
