· range 5.1–5.1
Bonton takes in 2 census tracts of Dallas, TX, population 12,526. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 40%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 58% against 30.9% citywide, putting Bonton 27.3% over its own city. Annualized rent equals 43% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.3/10. Running hot is economic stress at 8.6/10.
At $1,164 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Dallas commands. That places it #1 of 36 neighborhoods in Dallas.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
