Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Perry

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.8/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.8/10.

Against the Dallas County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 24 evictions over 3 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2015, when 2.8% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 1.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $64,366, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
