Fort Worth Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 25.6% against 11.3% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,124, 26% below the Fort Worth average.

The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.0 points above the Tarrant County average of 3.8.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 514 filings here across 17 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2014, when 20.8% of renter households were served. 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 15.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.4/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

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.
