Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Greenspoint

68% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Harris County average of 49.5%. Adults with no health insurance runs 35.4% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $852, 37% below the Houston average.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $26,818, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Disability prevalence runs 45.3% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
