Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Lawn
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
Disability prevalence runs 16.7% against 31.5% nationally. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
At $1,826 a month, rents run 24% over what the rest of Dallas commands. Against Dallas County at 47.9%, 42% of renters here are cost-burdened.
10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 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.
Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.5/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
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.
