Dallas Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $48,225 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

72% 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. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 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: 621 evictions over 18 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2017, when 5.7% of renter households were served.

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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
