Pearland Eviction Risk: Lower

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The voucher gap is 32.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Fort Bend County average of 42.8%.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 367 filings here across 14 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $2,032, 9% above the Pearland average. The worst year on record was 2016, when 14.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 18.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. It tracks the Fort Bend County average of 3.8 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
