Chinatown Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

29% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. This is renter territory: 83% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. At $975 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Houston commands. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0.

Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

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