Arlington Eviction Risk: Moderate

36% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 29.6% against 11.3% nationally.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,701, 16% above the Arlington average.

The filing record is not thin: 1,510 evictions over 17 years of observation. It sits 0.7 points above the Tarrant County average of 3.8. The worst year on record was 2011, when 23.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 17.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #41,206 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 23% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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