Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Parkglen West

79% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Harris County average of 49.5%. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 47%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $34,312, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Adults with no health insurance runs 30.4% against 11.3% nationally. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. At $1,182 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Houston commands.

That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.8/10.

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.
