Memorial Heights Eviction Risk: Lower , Houston

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 80% 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.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 27.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Cost burden runs 40% here against 49.5% across Harris County.

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

Disability prevalence runs 18.5% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
