Oak Lawn Eviction Risk: Lower , Dallas

77% 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. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 45% of renters.

It tracks the Dallas County average of 3.8 closely. Average gross rent is $1,507, close to the Dallas average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $71,020.
