Indian Hills takes in 7 census tracts of Grand Prairie, TX, population 28,949. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. Against a Grand Prairie baseline of 33.8%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Scores across the 7 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.7. A 1.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10.
Average gross rent is $1,305, 20% below the Grand Prairie average of $1,629. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Filings are well documented here: 5,831 across 6 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 24.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 8.0% in 2017, is well off that peak. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $57,163.
52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 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.
