Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lake Highlands

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.4% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. At $1,307 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Dallas commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 9% of average household income of $180,293, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

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