Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Northpointe Forest

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 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 22% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.7/10.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $138,200, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Poverty sits at 6%, 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.

Average gross rent is $1,456, close to the Houston average.

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.
