Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Westwood Park

At $1,715 a month, rents run 26% over what the rest of Houston commands. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.
The filing record is not thin: 57 evictions over 7 years of observation. The severe-burden share is 8%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The voucher gap is 12.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
