Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cypress Falls
36% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,796, 32% above the Houston average.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The voucher gap is 17.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Adults with no health insurance runs 20.3% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 134 evictions over 7 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2014, when 17.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 12.0% of renter households face a filing.
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.
