Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bayou Place

100% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The severe-burden share is 29%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $37,017, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Adults with no health insurance runs 28.3% against 11.3% nationally. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0.

Court records carry 818 eviction filings across 7 observed years. At $1,207 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Houston commands. Filings peaked in 2013 at 13.3% of renter households.

In a typical year about 9.9% of renter households face a filing.

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