Enchanted Creek is a one-tract neighborhood of Arlington, TX, population 6,262. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Cost burden runs 27% against 34.7% citywide, putting Enchanted Creek 8.1% under its own city. 18% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,729, 18% above the Arlington average of $1,470.
Court records for this tract carry 655 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 22.6% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.1% in 2017, is well off that peak.
That places it #6 of 10 neighborhoods in Arlington. Only 21% 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. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $84,587.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
