Katy Eviction Risk: Lower

At $2,341 a month, rents run 46% over what the rest of Katy commands. Severe burden reaches 33%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The voucher gap is 53.1%: 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.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against Waller County at 40.3%, 46% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 1.0 points below the Waller County average of 4.0.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 16% 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 4.5/10, 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. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $142,971.

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.
