Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Farmers Branch
94% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,308 evictions over 18 years of observation. Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points.
The worst year on record was 2017, when 10.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 3.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
Average gross rent is $1,922, close to the Farmers Branch average.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
