Fort Worth Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10. At $1,079 a month, rents run 28% under what the rest of Fort Worth commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

Disability prevalence runs 47.0% against 31.5% nationally. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Tarrant County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

Court records carry 4,936 eviction filings across 17 observed years. Filings peaked in 2007 at 44.7% of renter households.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 33.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
