Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Dawson
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.3/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.8/10.
Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 4 evictions over 1 years of observation.
Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally. The worst year on record was 2014, when 3.4% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.4% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 16% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.5/10.
Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $77,500, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Dallas County average of 4.0 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,063, close to the Dawson average.
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.
