Houston Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 78% here against 49.5% across Harris County. Annualized rent equals 54% of average household income of $26,653, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 42%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is renter territory: 92% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 27.4% against 11.3% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 46.2% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Average gross rent is $1,196, 12% below the Houston average. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
