Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brentwood Lakes

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. At $1,807 a month, rents run 33% over what the rest of Houston commands. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The voucher gap is 18.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely.
