Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fort Worth
The heaviest input here is economic stress at 3.6/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Fort Worth eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Tarrant County average of 5.1 and below the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Part of this tract, about 7% of its area, sat in the redlined grade-D zone on 1930s HOLC maps, though its dominant grade was A ("Best"). That lending history still correlates with present-day rent burden.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 4.27x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, above pre-pandemic levels.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
