Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Tallowwood

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,687, 24% above the Houston average. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 52% of renters. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $75,407. 31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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