Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fort Worth
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,239, 18% below the Fort Worth average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 441 filings here across 17 tracked years.
It sits 0.8 points below the Tarrant County average of 3.8. Filings peaked in 2011 at 13.5% of renter households.
This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 6.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 4.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Against average income of $111,118, annual rent is just 13%.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
