Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Duncanville

What pushes it up most is rent-regulation exposure at 9/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 24.5% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,100 filings here across 18 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2008 at 29.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 16.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. roughly one in two of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
