Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Woodcrest

At $1,909 a month, rents run 40% over what the rest of Houston commands. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.1/10.

Disability prevalence runs 16.1% against 31.5% nationally. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The voucher gap is 24.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $169,063, annual rent is just 14%.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
