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. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $132,808, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
