Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North Lake Highlands
The severe-burden share is 33%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $34,797 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Dallas County average of 3.8.
The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,180, 20% below the Dallas average.
Adults with no health insurance runs 20.4% against 11.3% nationally. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.7/10.
Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.
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.
