Knox Eviction Risk: Lower , Dallas

Average gross rent is $2,238, 52% above the Dallas average. 97% 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.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

Disability prevalence runs 17.1% against 31.5% nationally. The voucher gap is 18.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

11% 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 0.8 points.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Dallas. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
