Selmont-West Selmont Eviction Risk: Lower

At $772 a month, rents run 57% over what the rest of Selmont-West Selmont commands. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.4/10. It sits 2.0 points below the Dallas County average of 5.0.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Food insecurity runs 30.5% against 17.8% nationally. Against Dallas County at 46.7%, 53% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 7.2/10. The filing record is not thin: 26 evictions over 11 years of observation.

Housing insecurity runs 22.2% against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2004, when 2.0% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
