Farmers Branch Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10. Cost burden runs 58% here against 47.9% across Dallas County.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.3% against 11.3% nationally. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 179 evictions over 18 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2006 at 9.8% of renter households.

At $2,031 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Farmers Branch commands. In a typical year about 3.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #44,239 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 13% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 7.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Dallas County average of 3.8 closely.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
