Knox Eviction Risk: Lower , Dallas

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10.

Average gross rent is $1,350, 30% below the Highland Park average. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 12 filings here across 6 tracked years.

It sits 0.8 points below the Dallas County average of 3.8. The worst year on record was 2001, when 2.9% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Dallas. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 2.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

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.
