Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ella Lee Forest
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Disability prevalence runs 18.8% against 31.5% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,610, 18% above the Houston average.
It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 22 filings here across 6 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2013, when 3.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
