Analysis
What drives eviction risk in University Park
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 85.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10.
Disability prevalence runs 17.1% against 31.5% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 165 evictions over 18 years of observation. It sits 0.8 points below the Dallas County average of 3.8.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 2.5% of renter households. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Dallas. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 1.5% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
