Dallas Eviction Risk: Moderate

83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 26.5% against 11.3% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Dallas County average of 47.9%. At $1,242 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Dallas commands.

Court records carry 3,021 eviction filings across 18 observed years. Filings peaked in 2001 at 10.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 8.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
