Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Arlington

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 82% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $42,813, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 59% here against 50.2% across Tarrant County. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

At $1,173 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Arlington commands. Against the Tarrant County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
