North Texas Eviction Project
The North Texas Eviction Project (NTEP) makes local eviction data accessible and actionable so that frontline providers, government and agency staff, and policymakers can activate upstream eviction solutions to keep families securely housed.
NTEP features eviction filing and demographic data for Dallas, Collin, Denton, and Tarrant Counties. Data is currently accessible for eviction filings only: case outcomes are not yet available. NTEP provides a geography-based summary of eviction filing data and does not include individual case details, such as plaintiff or defendant names.
Some geographies may have more or less data available. For example, Dallas County data begins in 2017, but Collin and Denton begin in 2019, and Tarrant begins in 2020. Only Dallas County has median filing amount data available.
Dallas County data is provided by Dallas County. Denton, Collin, and Tarrant County data is provided by our friends at January Advisors, a Houston-based data science group.

2025 Rental Housing Needs Assessment
The 2025 Rental Housing Needs Assessment establishes a shared fact base on rental affordability, supply, and opportunity in the City of Dallas.
- Dallas faces a 46,000-unit shortage of rental homes affordable to very low-income households earning ≤50% of Area Median Income (AMI). Since CPAL first published this report in 2023, the gap has grown by more than 12,000 units.
- Between 2021 and 2023, the number of rental units priced below $1,000 per month was cut in half — a loss of over 50,000 units. Today, 90% of affordable units for low-income renters are unsubsidized and vulnerable to market pressures.
- Half of all renters spend more than 30% of their income on housing, including 75% of single parents with children and 65% of senior renters. Extremely low-income renters spend, on average, 78% of their income on housing, leaving little room for other necessities.
