Analysis

What drives eviction risk in La Porte

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.9/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Adults with no health insurance runs 18.4% against 11.3% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.8/10. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $73,611, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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