Adults with no health insurance runs 34.8% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $32,667, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. At $975 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Houston commands.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 56% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
