Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Lawn
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. At $1,962 a month, rents run 33% over what the rest of Dallas commands.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 66% 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.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.7/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $119,261.
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.
