Midlothian Eviction Risk: Lower

Cost burden runs 31% here against 43.5% across Ellis County. 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.

The voucher gap is 16.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,194, 9% above the Midlothian average. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 25% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $117,297.

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.
