East Houston Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 84% against 32.1% citywide, putting East Houston 51.4% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.9/10.

Set annual rent against average household income of $31,053 and the ratio lands at 45%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Court records carry 1,029 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,157, 15% below the Houston average of $1,361.

The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 20.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 10.5% in 2015, is well off that peak.

That places it #1 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. The closest comparables inside the same city are North Shadydale and Grand Vista Lakes. Social vulnerability runs high at 10/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
