Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Silvermill

At $1,968 a month, rents run 45% over what the rest of Houston commands. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Harris County average of 49.5%. The voucher gap is 28.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 9% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $91,932.

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.
