Analysis

What drives eviction risk in North Lake Highlands

Cost burden runs 63% here against 47.9% across Dallas County. 95% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $40,038, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Dallas County average of 3.8.

Adults with no health insurance runs 22.5% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,213, 18% below the Dallas average.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4,210 filings here across 18 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2009, when 176.1% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 70.8% of renter households face a filing.

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