Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Covington Bridge
Average gross rent is $2,212, 63% above the Houston average. The voucher gap is 44.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.5/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.3/10.
Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
