Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oak Lawn

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.0% against 31.5% nationally. Severe burden reaches 14%. 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. At $1,619 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Dallas commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Against average income of $115,972, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
