Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Clear Lake
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $2,451, 80% above the Houston average.
The voucher gap is 60.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.1/10.
Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 51 eviction filings across 7 observed years. The worst year on record was 2009, when 9.4% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 3.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
