Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lakecrest
Average gross rent is $2,020, 48% above the Houston average. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.
62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Harris County average of 49.5%. The voucher gap is 32.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. Court records carry 129 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2009 at 20.3% of renter households. In a typical year about 10.6% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 6.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $98,451.
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.
