Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greenspoint

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.7/10. This is renter territory: 100% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Harris County average of 49.5%.

The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $858, 37% below the Houston average. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.4% against 31.5% nationally.

The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

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