Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Verde Ridge

67% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Harris County average of 49.5%. At $2,198 a month, rents run 61% over what the rest of Houston commands.

The voucher gap is 43.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.4/10.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 2.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $124,707.
