What drives eviction risk in Highland Timbers
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $52,770, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
66% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Cost burden runs 54% here against 49.5% across Harris County. It sits 0.8 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.1/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
Average gross rent is $1,448, close to the Houston average.
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.
