Timbercrest Eviction Risk: Moderate , Houston

Set annual rent against average income of $36,830 and the ratio lands at 45%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Houston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 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 least pressured.

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.
