Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rockwall Downes

What moves this score most is rent-control risk at 6.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Rockwall County average of 4.4 and in line with the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 43rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
