Adults with no health insurance runs 21.4% against 11.3% nationally. The voucher gap is 16.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. 49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
