Court records carry 1,666 eviction filings across 18 observed years. Filings peaked in 2015 at 13.5% of renter households. 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.

In a typical year about 9.3% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
