Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Dallas
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 27% 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. Set annual rent against average income of $48,168 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Cost burden runs 55% here against 45.5% across Denton County. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. Against the Denton County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.9% against 11.3% nationally.
Court records carry 3,424 eviction filings across 13 observed years. Average gross rent is $1,318, 10% below the Dallas average.
The worst year on record was 2010, when 14.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 15.8% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
