Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Dallas
The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The severe-burden share is 26%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.
Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $36,888, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Cost burden runs 58% here against 47.9% across Dallas County. Average gross rent is $1,121, 24% below the Dallas average. Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
Adults with no health insurance runs 22.4% against 11.3% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 4,701 filings here across 18 tracked years.
The worst year on record was 2007, when 32.8% 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 25.2% of renter households face a filing.
