About
Timberwood by the numbers
Every number on this page comes from public records, mostly the Harris Central Appraisal District's own published data files. Nothing here was obtained privately. Anyone can download the same files and count the same things, and the links under each section are where to get them.12
Who lives here
Of the 1,014 Timberwood lots counted here:1
| Lots | Share | |
|---|---|---|
| Lived in by the owner | 778 | 76.7% |
| Owned by a company or trust | 144 | 14.2% |
| Owner lives elsewhere in Texas | 79 | 7.8% |
| Owner lives out of state | 5 | 0.5% |
| Vacant lot | 4 | 0.4% |
| Government or exempt | 4 | 0.4% |
The company-owned figure needs reading carefully. 75 of those 144 belong to Candlewood Homes, the builder that still owns most of the unbuilt Section 10.2 Those are lots waiting to be built on, not rented houses. Setting the builder aside, 69 lots, about 6.8%, are held by a company or trust.
A lot counts as lived in by its owner when the mailing address on the roll matches the house, or when the owner has filed a residential homestead exemption on it, which is a declaration that the property is their principal residence. No other exemption is used here, and none is shown for any individual property.
Four more lots inside the neighborhood are marked confidential by the appraisal district under Tax Code section 25.025, which lets certain people keep their address out of public records.3 Those are left out of every count on this page.
The houses
935 of the lots carry a house.1
| Median year built | 1993 |
|---|---|
| Oldest and newest | 1978 and 2025 |
| Median living area | 1,799 sq ft |
| Smallest and largest | 1,220 and 3,786 sq ft |
| Average lot | about 7,558 sq ft, a little over a sixth of an acre |
| Average market value | about $238,000 |
Market value is what the appraisal district says a property is worth, which is not what it would sell for and not what anyone paid. Texas does not make sale prices public. See property taxes.
When it was built
| Decade | Houses |
|---|---|
| 1970s | 101 |
| 1980s | 281 |
| 1990s | 371 |
| 2000s | 132 |
| 2010s | 43 |
| 2020s | 7 |
The 1990s were the biggest decade, and building has never entirely stopped. See how Timberwood got here for the gap between 1985 and 1990.
Flood zones
Of the 1,014 lots, 148 sit in Zone AE, the mapped high risk zone where a mortgage lender requires flood insurance, and 866 are in Zone X.4 That is about one lot in seven. Which zone a particular house is in varies within a single street. See flooding.
Where these numbers come from
- The appraisal roll, published by the Harris Central Appraisal District as public data files anyone can download.1 Ownership, year built, floor area, lot size and value all come from there.
- The property search on the same district's site, one account at a time.2
- FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer, the data behind the official flood maps.4
Counts were taken on August 20, 2026 against the 2026 roll. The roll changes through the year and is certified in mid August.1
