What drives eviction risk in Dallas
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $37,226 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Adults with no health insurance runs 29.5% against 11.3% nationally.
Running hot, economic stress reads 8.8/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
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 nearby. Disability prevalence runs 44.5% against 31.5% nationally. Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
Court records carry 1,128 eviction filings across 18 observed years. At $1,276 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Dallas commands. Filings peaked in 2015 at 15.9% of renter households.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
