Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Arlington

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Against Tarrant County at 50.2%, 61% of renters here are cost-burdened. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $56,200, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Tarrant County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

The filing record is not thin: 1,929 evictions over 17 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2014, when 15.4% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 10.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
