What drives eviction risk in Cypress Forest Lakes
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 26.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
It sits 1.0 points below the Harris County average of 4.0. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 69 filings here across 7 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2009, when 9.9% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 10.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
