What drives eviction risk in Riverside Terrace
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Houston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $75,635, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
