Dallas Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $40,246, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Cost burden runs 56% here against 47.9% across Dallas County.

15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.3 points above the Dallas County average of 3.8.

Average gross rent is $1,187, 19% below the Dallas average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 5,094 filings here across 18 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2017 at 35.1% of renter households.

In a typical year about 16.1% of renter households face a filing.

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.
