Forest Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Houston, TX and houses 5,567 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Houston baseline of 32.1%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
At $2,150 a month, rents sit 58% over what the rest of Houston commands. The voucher gap is 40.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.1/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10.
Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #187 by risk, the middle third. At 13% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, The Lakes At Highland Glen and Champion Lake 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 30% of average household income of $86,728.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
