Analysis
What drives eviction risk in McKendree Park
The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 8.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Houston eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Harris County average of 5.2 and above the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 125 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 9.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 15.0% of renter households in 2012.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.59x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
