Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fort Worth

71% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Tarrant County average of 50.2%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Adults with no health insurance runs 31.6% against 11.3% nationally. Disability prevalence runs 48.8% against 31.5% nationally. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. At $1,216 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Fort Worth commands.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Tarrant County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 827 filings here across 17 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 19.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. In a typical year about 15.3% of renter households face a filing.

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.
