Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Arlington

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $46,868, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.6% against 11.3% nationally.

It sits 0.7 points above the Tarrant County average of 3.8. Average gross rent is $1,312, 11% below the Arlington average.

That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 53% of renters.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
