Ambercrest spans 2 census tracts of Arlington, TX and houses 11,473 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 47%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Arlington baseline of 34.7%, 70% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,941, 32% above the Arlington average of $1,470. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.8. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Court records for this tract carry 438 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The voucher gap is 13.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 30.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 9.0% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #3 of 10 neighborhoods in Arlington.
Only 22% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Arlington Lakeside and Fox Run.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $80,461.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
