Chinatown Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

Set annual rent against average income of $41,337 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 66% 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.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 23.7% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Harris County average of 49.5%. The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. At $1,160 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Houston commands.

Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
