Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Westpark Village

The severe-burden share is 30%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. Average gross rent is $1,236, 9% below the Houston average.

Nationally it ranks #61,558 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $53,843.

38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
