Analysis

What drives eviction risk in University Place

This is renter territory: 95% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.

Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $38,542, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Collin County average of 44.7%. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

It sits 1.5 points above the Collin County average of 3.6. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

At $1,150 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Dallas commands. The filing record is not thin: 2,739 evictions over 13 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2007, when 107.7% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 32.4% of renter households face a filing.
