Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Arlington

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 31.4% against 11.3% nationally.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $39,800, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 59% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Tarrant County average of 50.2%.

Average gross rent is $1,173, 20% below the Arlington average. It sits 1.0 points above the Tarrant County average of 3.8.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 3,967 filings here across 17 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 35.8% of renter households.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
