The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Cost burden runs 63% here against 49.5% across Harris County. Average gross rent is $1,828, 34% above the Houston average.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 19.6%: 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. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 21% 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. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
