Analysis

What drives eviction risk in The Grove

The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Against Travis County at 44.8%, 51% of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the Travis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. At $2,005 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Austin commands.

The filing record is not thin: 71 evictions over 12 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2011, when 2.0% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 0.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 2.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
