Champion Forest Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,159 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Champion Forest is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 4,159. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. Court records for this tract carry 54 eviction filings. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 25.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 12.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third.

For a like-for-like read, Porter Ranch and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
