Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hidden Valley
Cost burden runs 85% here against 49.5% across Harris County. Adults with no health insurance runs 35.7% against 11.3% nationally.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $53,452, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,729, 27% above the Houston average. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 95 filings here across 7 tracked years. The voucher gap is 13.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2012, when 15.2% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 8.7% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
