Cimarron Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,176 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Cimarron maps to a single census tract in Houston, TX, population 3,176. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 32.1% citywide, putting Cimarron 24.5% over its own city.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.

20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

At $1,525 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of Houston commands. Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third.

For a like-for-like read, Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $72,133. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
