Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Garland
62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Dallas County average of 47.9%. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 82% 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.
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Set annual rent against average income of $47,414 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10.
Average gross rent is $1,272, 22% below the Garland average. The filing record is not thin: 2,952 evictions over 18 years of observation.
Against the Dallas County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points. The worst year on record was 2017, when 18.3% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 15.5% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
