Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Settlers Park

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The voucher gap is 28.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 205 filings here across 14 tracked years. Against Fort Bend County at 42.8%, 38% of renters here are cost-burdened. The worst year on record was 2010, when 5.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Fort Bend County average of 3.8 closely.
