Linkwood Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

95% 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. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.

Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 3.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. 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 least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,331, 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.
