Cumberland Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,691 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Cumberland maps to a single census tract in Porter Heights, TX, population 3,691. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. Against a Porter Heights baseline of 15.8%, 10% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

10% 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. Only 7% 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. Against average income of $129,492, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,102, close to the Porter Heights average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
