Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Creekstone

Against Harris County at 49.5%, 81% of renters here are cost-burdened. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. At $1,768 a month, rents run 30% over what the rest of Houston commands.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. The voucher gap is 15.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.6/10. 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. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $107,668.
