Midlothian Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 57% here against 43.5% across Ellis County. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10.

At $1,374 a month, rents run 32% under what the rest of Midlothian commands. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. Against the Ellis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 10% of average household income of $158,943, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
