Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Bedford
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at $1/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Bedford, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Tarrant County average of 5.1 and below the Texas statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.91x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, a little under the pre-pandemic norm.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,682 eviction filings here over 17 tracked years, with about 12.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 16.9% of renter households in 2008.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
