Dakota is a one-tract neighborhood of Lantana, TX, population 9,485. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10.
The voucher gap is 85.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.3/10. 29% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $3,501, close to the Lantana average.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $178,106.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
