Hi Line maps to a single census tract in Dallas, TX, population 3,177. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. Cost burden runs 39% against 30.9% citywide, putting Hi Line 7.8% over its own city.
At $1,109 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of Dallas commands. The filing record is not thin: 259 evictions logged in this tract.
The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 10.6% of renter households.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 6.4% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #11 of 36 neighborhoods in Dallas.
At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
