What drives eviction risk in South Dallas
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
At $1,783 a month, rents run 21% over what the rest of Dallas commands. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 8.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
Rent takes 30% or more of income for 49% of renters.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
