Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lakewood

At $3,036 a month, rents run 106% over what the rest of Dallas commands. The voucher gap is 61.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10. 37% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Dallas County average of 47.9%.

Disability prevalence runs 16.5% against 31.5% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 157 filings here across 17 tracked years. It sits 0.8 points below the Dallas County average of 3.8.

Filings peaked in 2003 at 10.0% 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 4.2% of renter households face a filing.

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.
