Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Woodland Hills
The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 3.8/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Houston eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Harris County average of 5.2 and below the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 330 eviction filings here over 7 tracked years, with about 13.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 20.5% of renter households in 2013.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.35x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
