Fort Worth Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $902 a month, rents run 40% under what the rest of Fort Worth commands. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Against Tarrant County at 50.2%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Disability prevalence runs 47.1% against 31.5% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Tarrant County average of 3.8.

The filing record is not thin: 202 evictions over 17 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2013, when 3.2% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

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