Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Dallas
Adults with no health insurance runs 40.2% against 11.3% nationally. Annualized rent equals 46% of average household income of $36,506, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 47.5% against 31.5% nationally.
The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
The filing record is not thin: 818 evictions over 18 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2006, when 17.9% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 13.9% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
