Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cottage Glen
What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 9.8/10. The voucher gap is 48.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 35% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.
Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 59 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2011 at 6.8% of renter households.
In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
