Houston Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. 58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Harris County average of 49.5%. The poverty rate is 25%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Adults with no health insurance runs 23.1% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

Average gross rent is $1,180, 13% 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 9.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. 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.

Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $44,519.

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.
