Fort Worth Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Tarrant County average of 50.2%.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 24.5% against 11.3% nationally.

Court records carry 708 eviction filings across 17 observed years. Filings peaked in 2014 at 11.1% of renter households.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Fort Worth. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 7.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.5/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
