Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Inverness Forest

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 31.7% against 11.3% nationally.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. At $994 a month, rents run 27% under what the rest of Houston commands. On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters. It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $47,566.

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