Dallas Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 27.4% against 11.3% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

It sits 1.2 points above the Dallas County average of 3.8. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Average gross rent is $1,244, 15% below the Dallas average.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,073 filings here across 18 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2016 at 9.7% of renter households.

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. In a typical year about 11.0% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter.

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.
