Garland Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Dallas County average of 47.9%. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.4/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 882 filings here across 18 tracked years. It sits 0.6 points above the Dallas County average of 3.8. Filings peaked in 2004 at 28.1% of renter households.

In a typical year about 13.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,583, close to the Garland 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.
