Vickery Meadows is a 13-tract neighborhood of Dallas, TX and houses 35,753 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, Moderate tier. Against a Dallas baseline of 30.9%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The 13 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.1, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.
The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,233, 16% below the Dallas average of $1,472.
Filings are well documented here: 13,735 across 9 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 52.8% of renter households. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
That places it #11 of 36 neighborhoods in Dallas. Judgments average 3.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Hi Line and South Side score within a fraction of it.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
