Southwind takes in 3 census tracts of Arlington, TX and houses 17,265 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 53% against 34.7% citywide, putting Southwind 18.4% over its own city.
Average gross rent is $2,250, 53% above the Arlington average of $1,470. The voucher gap is 32.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
22% 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. What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 8/10.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 338 evictions logged in this tract.
Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 12.3% of renter households. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Arlington, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 10.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Its 3 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $128,010.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
