Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greenspoint

The severe-burden share is 35%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 54.5% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 52%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

100% 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. Disability prevalence runs 52.9% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $33,689, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,064, 22% below the Houston average.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
