Fallbrook Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 10,170 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 4.9–5.1

Fallbrook spans 2 census tracts of Houston, TX, population 10,170. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 44%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 73% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Court records carry 629 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.4/10.

The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 10.2% of renter households. At $1,244 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Houston commands.

The most recent observed rate, 5.1% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #46 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.

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.
