Bellaire West Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Average gross rent is $1,617, 19% above the Houston average. It sits 0.7 points above the Harris County average of 4.0.

That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. 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 0.8 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters.

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.
