What drives eviction risk in Scenic Woods
The severe-burden share is 31%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $41,760 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 26.8% against 11.3% nationally.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Disability prevalence runs 44.3% against 31.5% nationally.
It sits 1.1 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 173 evictions over 7 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2015, when 13.2% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 10.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
At 23% 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.
