What drives eviction risk in Cypresswood
On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. At $1,792 a month, rents run 32% over what the rest of Houston commands. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
16% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The voucher gap is 17.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Harris County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.
The filing record is not thin: 157 evictions over 7 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2011 at 8.5% of renter households.
In a typical year about 6.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.4/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
