Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fairmount
The severe-burden share is 32%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset 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. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
It sits 1.0 points above the Tarrant County average of 3.8. Court records carry 760 eviction filings across 17 observed years. The worst year on record was 2017, when 13.6% of renter households were served.
At $1,385 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Fort Worth commands. 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 9.9% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
