Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Inwood

Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 49.5% across Harris County. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 35.6% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 59%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 95% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $34,683 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. At $1,066 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Houston commands. Disability prevalence runs 43.5% against 31.5% nationally.

It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
