21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
Court records carry 466 eviction filings across 17 observed years. At $1,290 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Fort Worth commands.
The worst year on record was 2008, when 9.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Fort Worth.
