Memorial Heights Eviction Risk: Lower , Houston

Average gross rent is $2,073, 52% above the Houston average. The voucher gap is 35.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

This is renter territory: 91% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.6/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Disability prevalence runs 18.0% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
