Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Austinville
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 37% of renters here are cost-burdened. The voucher gap is 28.4%: 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. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.3% against 11.3% nationally.
It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 24% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.8/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
