Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rice Military

The voucher gap is 35.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.6/10. Disability prevalence runs 17.6% against 31.5% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 13%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.5/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 46% of renters.

Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $128,250.
