Denton Square Eviction Risk: Moderate

58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Denton County average of 45.5%. The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10.

Against the Denton County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Court records carry 255 eviction filings across 13 observed years. At $1,564 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Denton commands.

Filings peaked in 2005 at 3.2% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.5% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 2.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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.
