Cherryhurst Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,931 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Cherryhurst is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 2,931. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.1/10.

37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Houston rate of 32.1%. The filing record is not thin: 72 evictions logged in this tract.

Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. At $1,580 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Houston commands. Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 2.5% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village. Against average income of $168,015, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
