Wheatley Place Historic District is a 2-tract neighborhood of Dallas, TX and houses 5,504 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, in the Moderate tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Dallas rate of 30.9%.
32% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.3 to 5.1. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,828 evictions logged in this tract.
The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Average gross rent is $1,268, 14% below the Dallas average of $1,472. The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 19.2% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 17.5% in 2017 against a 19.2% peak. Among the 36 mapped neighborhoods of Dallas, it ranks #16 by risk, the middle third.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
