Windfern Trace Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

At $1,870 a month, rents run 37% over what the rest of Houston commands. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $66,809, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

Against Harris County at 49.5%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened. The voucher gap is 22.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Adults with no health insurance runs 22.5% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
