Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fort Worth
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,847, 22% above the Fort Worth average. 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.
That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 1.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Tarrant County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $108,211.
59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
