Mahatma Gandhi District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

100% 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. Average gross rent is $890, 35% below the Houston average.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Cost burden runs 43% here against 49.5% across Harris County. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 71 evictions over 7 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 5.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

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