Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Duncanville
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above 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.
The tract is Hispanic or Latino and Black and ranks around the 47th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.67x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, above pre-pandemic levels.
