Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rockwall

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.8/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Rockwall County average of 3.5. The filing record is not thin: 13 evictions over 1 years of observation.

Adults with no health insurance runs 18.4% against 11.3% nationally. Filings peaked in 2006 at 3.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.
