The Greene Eviction Risk: Lower

6 census tracts · pop 29,911 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.6/10 · range 3–4.5

The Greene is a 6-tract neighborhood of Dallas, TX and houses 29,911 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Dallas baseline of 30.9%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

34% 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. At $1,924 a month, rents sit 31% over what the rest of Dallas commands. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.2/10.

The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.5, a 1.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10.

Filings are well documented here: 3,035 across 4 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 48.7% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 12.6% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of Dallas, it ranks #24 by risk, the lower third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Giants of the Savana and Addison Circle. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $83,828. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
