Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Terranova West

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,657, 22% above the Houston average.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 10% 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $117,467, annual rent is just 17%. 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 least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 46% of renters.

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