Very little wildlife habitat exists, and the estimated population within the Vince Bayou watershed is just under 89,000 persons.[3] Vince Bayou hosts a primarily urban environment.[4]

During Tropical Storm Allison, in June of the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season, the watershed received in excess of 13 inches (330 mm) of rain in a 24-hour period, resulting in bayou channel overbanking that flooded 1,500 homes in a 4.1-square-mile (11 km²) area.[1]
