Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Central Southwest Houston

Adults with no health insurance runs 36.4% against 11.3% nationally. Annualized rent equals 46% of average household income of $41,938, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

Disability prevalence runs 45.7% against 31.5% nationally. At $1,619 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Houston commands.

It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 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 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
