Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Creekside

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,655, 22% above the Houston average. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.7% against 11.3% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $82,296.

53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
