Denton Square Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $37,237 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.4 points above the Denton County average of 3.8.

At $1,129 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Denton commands. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,072 filings here across 13 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2007 at 13.1% of renter households.

In a typical year about 6.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

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.
