Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Downtown Fort Worth
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. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
At $1,845 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Fort Worth commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Fort Worth. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.5/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
