Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wilds of Africa
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Dallas County average of 47.9%. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. At $1,164 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Dallas commands.
The filing record is not thin: 1,056 evictions over 18 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2015 at 15.0% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 11.5% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
