Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The W's
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 7.9/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from The Colony, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Denton County average of 5.0 and below the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 197 eviction filings here over 13 tracked years, with about 8.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 16.7% of renter households in 2007.
The tract is White and Hispanic or Latino and ranks around the 40th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
