Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Prestondale

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 79% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against the Collin County average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.1/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against Collin County at 44.7%, 50% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Court records carry 381 eviction filings across 13 observed years. Filings peaked in 2007 at 15.7% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,344, 9% below the Dallas average.

In a typical year about 6.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
