Dallas Eviction Risk: Moderate

94% 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. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $40,125, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 22.9% against 11.3% nationally.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. At $1,227 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Dallas commands. Court records carry 3,973 eviction filings across 18 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2015, when 22.7% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 12.5% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 7.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

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