What drives eviction risk in Forestwood
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The voucher gap is 33.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Cost burden runs 60% here against 49.5% across Harris County. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 25.3% against 11.3% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Harris County average of 4.0 closely.
Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $81,339.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
