Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fort Worth

This is renter territory: 94% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Set annual rent against average income of $38,732 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.6% against 11.3% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,240, 18% below the Fort Worth average. Against the Tarrant County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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