Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fort Worth
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 86% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 44% here against 50.2% across Tarrant County.
Average gross rent is $1,798, 19% above the Fort Worth average. Court records carry 279 eviction filings across 17 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2017 at 1.9% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 4.1% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
