Southgate Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

Annualized rent equals 42% of average household income of $47,284, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 87% 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.

The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.4% against 31.5% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,656, 22% above the Houston average. 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.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
