Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tomball
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Harris County average of 5.2 and above the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.95x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, a little under the pre-pandemic norm.
