What drives eviction risk in Porter Ranch
The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
At $1,760 a month, rents run 29% over what the rest of Houston commands. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.
The voucher gap is 15.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $126,327, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
