Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Denton
Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
Against Denton County at 45.5%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 22.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 46 filings here across 12 tracked years. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 7.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 8% 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.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
