Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Laurel Place
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.7/10. Running hot, economic stress reads 9.4/10. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
It sits 2.0 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $42,738 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 69% 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. Adults with no health insurance runs 24.3% against 11.3% nationally.
Cost burden runs 57% here against 49.5% across Harris County. At $1,172 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Humble commands.
