· range 4.8–4.8
Lacerte Family Children's Zoo is a one-tract neighborhood of Dallas, TX and houses 2,561 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Dallas baseline of 30.9%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. At $989 a month, rents sit 33% under what the rest of Dallas commands.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Court records for this tract carry 715 eviction filings. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The worst year on record was 2000, when filings touched 9.1% of renter households.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.8% in 2017 against a 9.1% peak. That places it #8 of 36 neighborhoods in Dallas.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
