Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Channelview

The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Average gross rent is $1,437, 12% above the Channelview average.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
