Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Moonshine Hill
Cost burden runs 65% here against 49.5% across Harris County. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,829, 34% above the Houston average. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
The voucher gap is 19.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 239 eviction filings across 7 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 15.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 11.7% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
