Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fairmount
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Running hot, economic stress reads 8.9/10. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Cost burden runs 42% here against 50.2% across Tarrant County. Average gross rent is $1,166, 23% below the Fort Worth average.
Disability prevalence runs 43.5% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.0 points above the Tarrant County average of 3.8.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 814 filings here across 17 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2005, when 18.6% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Fort Worth. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 13.8% of renter households face a filing.
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.
