Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bedford

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The filing record is not thin: 2,474 evictions over 17 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2013 at 30.1% of renter households.

At $1,379 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Bedford commands. In a typical year about 16.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. roughly one in two of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Tarrant County average of 3.8 closely. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $67,500.
