Forest Cove Eviction Risk: Lower
1 census tracts · pop 6,839 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3
Forest Cove is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 6,839 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 82% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $1,890, 39% above the Houston average of $1,361.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.3/10. The voucher gap is 23.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Court records for this tract carry 297 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 11.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.4% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #241 of 397 neighborhoods in Houston. At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Wingspan at Bridgeland and Longwood Village score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $100,208.
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.
