Winnetka Heights Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

7 census tracts · pop 25,350 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 3–4.8

Winnetka Heights Historic District spans 7 census tracts of Dallas, TX and houses 25,350 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, in the Moderate tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Dallas rate of 30.9%.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Scores across the 7 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.8. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. Court records carry 4,858 eviction filings across its 7 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 22.9% of renter households. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.

The most recent observed rate, 6.4% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #16 of 36 neighborhoods in Dallas. For a like-for-like read, Wheatley Place Historic District and Bishop Arts District score within a fraction of it.

Average gross rent runs $1,398, close to the Dallas average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $81,967. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
