Cypress Waters Eviction Risk: Lower

6 census tracts · pop 20,016 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Cypress Waters is a 6-tract neighborhood of Irving, TX, population 20,016. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Average gross rent is $2,107, 30% above the Irving average of $1,619. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs 34% against 28.0% citywide, putting Cypress Waters 5.6% over its own city. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.3/10. Filings are well documented here: 811 across 2 observed tracts.

The voucher gap is 11.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 11.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.3% in 2017, is well off that peak.

For a like-for-like read, Las Colinas and Valley Ranch score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 6 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.

46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
