Blue Bell Village Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. This is renter territory: 86% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $38,642, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs 60% here against 49.5% across Harris County.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, economic stress reads 8.5/10.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 317 filings here across 7 tracked years. At $1,226 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Houston commands.

The worst year on record was 2012, when 4.0% of renter households were served.

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.
