Hobby Eviction Risk: Lower , Houston

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. At $1,760 a month, rents run 29% over what the rest of Houston commands.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The voucher gap is 15.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.2/10.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Fort Bend County average of 3.8 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
