Analysis

What drives eviction risk in North Lake Highlands

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,160, 21% below the Dallas average.

Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 6.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter.
