Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Briargrove

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,636, 20% above the Houston average.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $71,473. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
