North Lake Highlands Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 33%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 79% 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. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.4/10.

Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The 9 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.1, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.6/10.

The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filings are well documented here: 14,016 across 6 observed tracts. At $1,236 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Dallas commands.

The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 176.1% of renter households. Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of Dallas, it ranks #6 by risk, the upper third.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
