Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sunset Mill Village

The voucher gap is 42.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.4/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 9.2/10.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.8/10. The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 64 filings here across 11 tracked years. Cost burden runs 42% here against 46.7% across Dallas County.

The worst year on record was 2016, when 9.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #23,808 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5/10.
