What drives eviction risk in Tower Oaks
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,787, 31% above the Houston average.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
The voucher gap is 16.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 6.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $115,461.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
