Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rockwall

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10. The voucher gap is 29.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Average gross rent is $2,430, 25% above the Rockwall average. Court records carry 8 eviction filings across 1 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2006, when 5.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 5.7% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 8% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 49% of renters.

It tracks the Rockwall County average of 3.5 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
