Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Village of Oak Forest

Severe burden reaches 35%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 194 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2015 at 18.5% of renter households.

In a typical year about 10.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely. Average gross rent is $1,331, close to the Houston average. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $57,500.

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.
