Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Royal Oaks Country Club

93% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely. Average gross rent is $1,413, close to the Houston average.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $83,644.

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.
