Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Katy

What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 10/10. At $2,704 a month, rents run 69% over what the rest of Katy commands. The voucher gap is 76.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the high side, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Disability prevalence runs 19.0% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Fort Bend County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 11% 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 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
