Fort Worth Eviction Risk: Lower

This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,159 filings here across 17 tracked years.

46% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Tarrant County average of 50.2%. The worst year on record was 2014, when 6.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.9% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Tarrant County average of 3.8 closely. Average gross rent is $1,561, close to the Fort Worth average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $70,976.

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.
