New Koreatown spans 6 census tracts of Carrollton, TX, population 26,540. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. 63% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Carrollton rate of 29.2%.
The severe-burden share is 38%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10.
Scores across the 6 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4. A 1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Court records carry 2,473 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 14.7% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,888, 9% above the Carrollton average of $1,735. The most recent observed rate, 6.8% in 2017, is well off that peak.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $97,890. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
