What drives eviction risk in Westfield
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. At $2,575 a month, rents run 89% over what the rest of Houston commands.
The voucher gap is 68.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $83,911 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.7% against 11.3% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 8% 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 5.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
