Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Tarrant County average of 3.8.

At $1,292 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Arlington commands. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 6.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
