Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Crestmont

Against Harris County at 49.5%, around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened. Annualized rent equals 58% of average household income of $21,580, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. Disability prevalence runs 63.5% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 78%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Adults with no health insurance runs 35.2% against 11.3% nationally. 99% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,037, 24% below the Houston average.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 684 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 12.4% of renter households.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
