Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. At $980 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Houston commands.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.8% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
