What drives eviction risk in Magnolia Grove
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Cost burden runs 37% here against 49.5% across Harris County. At $1,798 a month, rents run 32% over what the rest of Houston commands.
Severe burden reaches 22%. 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 voucher gap is 17.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Houston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $80,780.
