Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greenspoint

The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $38,977 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Disability prevalence runs 48.6% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 58% of renters here are cost-burdened. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Average gross rent is $1,208, 11% below the Houston average.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
