What drives eviction risk in Houston
30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $39,637, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 22.8% against 11.3% nationally. At $1,109 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Houston commands.
