Cypress Forest is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX, population 7,162. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
34% 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. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Average gross rent is $1,633, 20% above the Houston average of $1,361.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 827 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 16.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.0% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #135 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Chimney Hill and Westchester. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $63,574.
52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
