Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bonton

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 41% of average household income of $35,577, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 26.0% against 11.3% nationally. It sits 1.3 points above the Dallas County average of 3.8.

54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Dallas County average of 47.9%. At $1,220 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Dallas commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.5/10.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
