Baytown Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 27.5% against 11.3% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 60% here against 49.5% across Harris County. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Harris County average of 4.0.

The filing record is not thin: 545 evictions over 7 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,110, 15% below the Baytown average. Filings peaked in 2011 at 15.4% of renter households.

In a typical year about 10.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. 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 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $52,636.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
