Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ashton Village

At $1,494 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Houston commands. Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
