Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Paddock
28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,819, 34% above the Houston average.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.0% against 11.3% nationally.
The voucher gap is 19.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 22% 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.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.7/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
