Houston Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 71% here against 49.5% across Harris County. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10.

100% 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. The poverty rate is 42%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $32,356, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 25.0% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

At $1,113 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Houston commands. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.5/10 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 socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
