Dallas Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Average gross rent is $1,038, 29% below the Dallas average. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Court records carry 800 eviction filings across 18 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 10.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 6.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 8.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $70,270, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Dallas County average of 3.8 closely.

50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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