Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tarrant
22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10.
SNAP participation runs 31.8% against 15.2% nationally. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. It sits 1.7 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.3.
The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 27.5% against 14.2% nationally. At $817 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Tarrant commands.
Cost burden runs about half here against 46.3% across Jefferson County. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 414 filings here across 11 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 4.7% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Birmingham. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 4.1% of renter households face a filing.
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.
