Lakewood Eviction Risk: Lower , Dallas

Against Dallas County at 47.9%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Disability prevalence runs 16.6% against 31.5% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 718 evictions over 18 years of observation.

Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Filings peaked in 2006 at 14.5% of renter households.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Dallas. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 5.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 1.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $178,472, annual rent is just 10%. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
