Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Oak Cliff
What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 4.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Dallas eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Dallas County average of 5.2 and below the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 275 eviction filings here over 18 tracked years, with about 6.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 12.3% of renter households in 2003.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.66x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, well below the pre-pandemic norm, the signature of an eviction moratorium at work.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
