Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Winnetka Heights Historic District

37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Dallas County average of 47.9%. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 589 evictions over 18 years of observation.

Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Average gross rent is $1,660, 13% above the Dallas average.

The worst year on record was 2011, when 22.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 6.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 25% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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