Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Forney

At $1,106 a month, rents run 39% under what the rest of Forney commands. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10. Cost burden runs 54% here against 46.8% across Kaufman County.

That is riskier than roughly 29% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 22% 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. Social vulnerability reads 5.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Kaufman County average of 3.9 closely.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $72,041.

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.
