Chinatown Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 27.3% against 11.3% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Average gross rent is $1,046, 23% below the Houston average.

12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 555 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2009 at 16.1% of renter households.

In a typical year about 8.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
