Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Duncanville
What moves this score most is rent-control risk at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Duncanville, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Dallas County average of 5.2 and above the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,257 eviction filings here over 18 tracked years, with about 10.0% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 24.3% of renter households in 2005.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.34x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, above pre-pandemic levels.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
