Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mayfair

83% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Harris County average of 49.5%. Set annual rent against average income of $28,274 and the ratio lands at 60%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Adults with no health insurance runs 37.5% against 11.3% nationally.

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.8/10. The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 48.9% against 31.5% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 402 evictions over 7 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 14.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 12.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
