Fort Worth Eviction Risk: Lower

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 547 evictions over 17 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2011 at 18.3% 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 7.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 2.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $121,359, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 48% of renters.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
