Analysis

What drives eviction risk in McKendree Park

At $2,122 a month, rents run 56% over what the rest of Houston commands. The voucher gap is 38.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.9/10. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $71,648, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Cost burden runs 60% here against 49.5% across Harris County.

The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 125 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Adults with no health insurance runs 19.6% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2012 at 15.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 9.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
