The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 9/10.
Disability prevalence runs 47.4% against 31.5% nationally. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against Harris County at 49.5%, 41% of renters here are cost-burdened.
At $1,063 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Houston commands. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 9.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
