Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Arlington

Set annual rent against average income of $24,766 and the ratio lands at 53%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 53%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 94% 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. Cost burden runs around two-thirds here against 50.2% across Tarrant County.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.4/10.

At $1,092 a month, rents run 26% 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.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 842 filings here across 17 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2007 at 3.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 3.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10.

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.
