Northpointe Forest Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.

8% 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. At $1,456 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Houston commands.

Among the 397 mapped neighborhoods of Houston, it ranks #241 by risk, the middle third. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Porter Ranch and Telge Ranch score within a fraction of it.

Against average income of $138,200, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
