Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Creekside

At $2,175 a month, rents run 60% over what the rest of Houston commands. The voucher gap is 42.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.2/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.5% against 11.3% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 5.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $97,575.
