Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.
At $1,746 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Houston commands. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Harris County average of 49.5%. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 44 filings here across 7 tracked years. The voucher gap is 14.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
