Fort Worth Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. At $1,009 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of Fort Worth commands. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Adults with no health insurance runs 27.2% against 11.3% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.0 points above the Tarrant County average of 3.8. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 736 filings here across 17 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2009, when 18.4% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 11.3% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
