Wedgwood is a 7-tract neighborhood of Fort Worth, TX and houses 35,242 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 62% against 33.2% citywide, putting Wedgwood 28.4% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
Court records carry 6,455 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 23.2% of renter households.
At $1,385 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Fort Worth commands. The most recent observed rate, 8.8% in 2017, is well off that peak. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Fort Worth, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Fairmount and Como. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $73,182. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
