Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Fort Worth
65% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Tarrant County average of 50.2%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Set annual rent against average income of $43,056 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. At $1,184 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Fort Worth commands.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.0 points above the Tarrant County average of 3.8.
The filing record is not thin: 1,090 evictions over 17 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2009 at 16.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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.
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.
