Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Friendswood

Severe burden reaches 37%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.

The voucher gap is 50.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,295, 36% above the Friendswood average. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0.

The filing record is not thin: 66 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2012, when 10.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 13.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.3/10.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
