Bellaire West Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Harris County average of 49.5%.

Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 0.7 points above the Harris County average of 4.0.

At $1,526 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Houston commands. On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.

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.
