Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cedar Hill
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 9.1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Cedar Hill, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Dallas County average of 5.2 and above the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 68th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 789 eviction filings here over 18 tracked years, with about 14.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 24.1% of renter households in 2008.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
