Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Yaupon Grove

The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 44%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

99% 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. Adults with no health insurance runs 33.7% against 11.3% nationally. Set annual rent against average income of $33,479 and the ratio lands at 42%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Cost burden runs 60% here against 49.5% across Harris County. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Average gross rent is $1,173, 14% below the Houston average. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
