Baytown Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.9/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Cost burden runs 41% here against 49.5% across Harris County. It sits 1.4 points above the Harris County average of 4.0.

The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,079 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Baytown commands. Court records carry 631 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 18.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 11.0% 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.

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.
