Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fort Worth
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 23.0% against 11.3% nationally.
Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 241 evictions over 17 years of observation. At $1,302 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Fort Worth commands.
Against the Tarrant County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2001, when 11.4% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Fort Worth. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 7.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 3.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
