Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Kendleton

The heaviest input here is housing court bias at 7.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Kendleton, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Fort Bend County average of 4.8 and in line with the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is Hispanic or Latino and White and ranks around the 85th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. High vulnerability tends to track with higher eviction-filing rates when rents climb.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 72 eviction filings here over 14 tracked years, with about 1.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 2.5% of renter households in 2016.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
