Western Trails is a one-tract neighborhood of Arlington, TX and houses 4,412 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Average gross rent is $2,112, 44% above the Arlington average of $1,470.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
The voucher gap is 23.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2/10. Cost burden runs around a third against 34.7% citywide, putting Western Trails 4.3% under its own city.
9% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Arlington, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third.
At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Webb and La Frontera score within a fraction of it.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $102,697.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
