The Village Eviction Risk: Lower , Dallas

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The voucher gap is 28.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.

53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Dallas County average of 47.9%. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 69 filings here across 17 tracked years.

It sits 0.8 points below the Dallas County average of 3.8. Filings peaked in 2001 at 1.6% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.

In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
