Arts District is a 3-tract neighborhood of Dallas, TX, population 8,526. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. This is a renter market: 90% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Average gross rent is $2,006, 36% above the Dallas average of $1,472. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Cost burden runs 38% against 30.9% citywide, putting Arts District 7.0% over its own city.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.5, a 1.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The filing record is not thin: 1,064 evictions logged in this tract.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 14.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 8.3% in 2017, is well off that peak.
Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of Dallas, it ranks #26 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Oak Lawn and Lake Highlands. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $96,708.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
