Analysis
What drives eviction risk in University Village
Adults with no health insurance runs 29.7% against 11.3% nationally. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $994, 27% below the Houston average. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
It sits 1.0 points above the Harris County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 228 evictions over 7 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 4.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.
In a typical year about 3.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
