Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sansom Park
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 9.3/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well above the Tarrant County average of 5.1 and above the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.62x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, above pre-pandemic levels.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 657 eviction filings here over 17 tracked years, with about 8.9% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 13.2% of renter households in 2012.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
