Dallas Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 64% here against 47.9% across Dallas County. 98% 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.

Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $42,756, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Disability prevalence runs 44.9% against 31.5% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,158, 21% below the Dallas average.

Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Court records carry 1,613 eviction filings across 18 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 8.8% of renter households were served.

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.
