Analysis
What drives eviction risk in University Oaks
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Houston. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Model confidence here is 45%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
