Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Steeple Chase Terrace

Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.1% against 11.3% nationally.

Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters. It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,301, close to the Houston average. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $49,931.

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.
