Dallas Eviction Risk: Moderate

Annualized rent equals 49% of average household income of $28,814, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 98% 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.

Adults with no health insurance runs 32.2% against 11.3% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10. Cost burden runs 57% here against 47.9% across Dallas County.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.

Average gross rent is $1,176, 20% below the Dallas average. The filing record is not thin: 1,295 evictions over 18 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2009, when 6.4% of renter households were served.

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.
