Census tracts with similar eviction risk
Within North Lake Highlands. Closest by Eviction Risk Score.
Cost burden runs 63% here against 47.9% across Dallas County. 95% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.
Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $40,038, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Dallas County average of 3.8.
Adults with no health insurance runs 22.5% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,213, 18% below the Dallas average.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4,210 filings here across 18 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2009, when 176.1% of renter households were served.
