Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mayfair
Severe burden reaches 36%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Adults with no health insurance runs 41.6% against 11.3% nationally.
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. At $1,141 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Houston commands.
Court records carry 122 eviction filings across 7 observed years. Filings peaked in 2015 at 5.3% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 2.7% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
