Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Fort Worth

75% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Tarrant County average of 50.2%.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Average gross rent is $1,230, 18% below the Fort Worth average. Adults with no health insurance runs 21.3% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Tarrant County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.
