Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Arlington

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 86% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Set annual rent against average income of $47,595 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Tarrant County average of 50.2%. Against the Tarrant County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,916 filings here across 17 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,311, 11% below the Arlington average.

Filings peaked in 2014 at 17.1% of renter households. In a typical year about 10.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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