Bishop Arts District is a 4-tract neighborhood of Dallas, TX and houses 12,647 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 30.9% citywide, putting Bishop Arts District 17.0% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 3.5 to 4.8. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
At $1,168 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Dallas commands. Filings are well documented here: 1,981 across 3 observed tracts.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 22.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 5.0% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #19 of 36 neighborhoods in Dallas. The closest comparables inside the same city are Swiss Avenue Historic District and Asian Trade District.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $66,654.
54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
