Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gettysburg

What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10. Cost burden runs 66% here against 49.5% across Harris County.

At $2,539 a month, rents run 87% over what the rest of Houston commands. The voucher gap is 66.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $125,346.

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.
