Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Dallas
The score leans hardest on 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 about the same as the Dallas County average of 5.2 and above the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 539 eviction filings here over 18 tracked years, with about 3.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.7% of renter households in 2008.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.18x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, roughly back to the pre-pandemic baseline.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
