Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Parkway West
Cost burden runs 75% here against 49.5% across Harris County. Set annual rent against average income of $45,802 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
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. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,621, 19% above the Houston average.
Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The filing record is not thin: 384 evictions over 7 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2010 at 6.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing.
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.
