Canterbury Forest is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 3,181. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 32.1% citywide, putting Canterbury Forest 16.7% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 33%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,616, 19% above the Houston average of $1,361. On the softer side is economic stress, at 3/10.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #219 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Timbergrove Green and Park Westheimer score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $85,032.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
