Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fort Worth

around two-thirds of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Tarrant County average of 50.2%. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.4/10. The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $997, 34% below the Fort Worth average. Set annual rent against average income of $32,604 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 27.8% against 11.3% nationally. Disability prevalence runs 43.8% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Tarrant County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. The filing record is not thin: 4,172 evictions over 17 years of observation.
