Southbrook Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

Cost burden runs 64% here against 49.5% across Harris County. 90% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

The severe-burden share is 27%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $903, 34% below the Houston average.

The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $33,025, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.7/10. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
