Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lacerte Family Children's Zoo
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Average gross rent is $989, 33% below the Dallas average. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 715 filings here across 18 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2000, when 9.1% of renter households were served. 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.
In a typical year about 5.4% of renter households face a filing.
