Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fort Worth

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Cost burden runs 61% here against 50.2% across Tarrant County.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

At $1,176 a month, rents run 22% under what the rest of Fort Worth commands. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.0 points above the Tarrant County average of 3.8.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
