High Oaks Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

The severe-burden share is 34%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

This is renter territory: 86% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $52,135, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against the Montgomery County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points.

At $1,499 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Houston commands. On the national scale it lands near the 49th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition 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.

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.
