Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Heritage Park West
The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8.9/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 17.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 413 evictions over 7 years of observation. At $1,798 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Katy commands.
The worst year on record was 2013, when 21.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 14.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
