Swiss Avenue Historic District Eviction Risk: Lower

7 census tracts · pop 17,271 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3–5.1

Swiss Avenue Historic District is a 7-tract neighborhood of Dallas, TX, population 17,271. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Dallas rate of 30.9%.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 25% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The 7 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.

65% 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. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Filings are well documented here: 10,080 across 7 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 22.5% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10. At $1,301 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Dallas commands.

The most recent observed rate, 9.1% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of Dallas, it ranks #19 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Asian Trade District and Bishop Arts District.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
