Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Houston
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $48,893, 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.
70% 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. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Cost burden runs 58% here against 49.5% across Harris County.
The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.
Adults with no health insurance runs 21.1% against 11.3% nationally. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10.
