Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lamar Terrace

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
Against Harris County at 49.5%, 45% of renters here are cost-burdened. Average gross rent is $1,194, 12% below the Houston average. That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $56,011.
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.
