Pitcairn Eviction Risk: Lower , Houston

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 44 filings here across 7 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2010 at 15.4% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.7% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $144,630, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
