The Triangle Eviction Risk: Moderate , Austin

Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 22%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. At $2,136 a month, rents run 24% over what the rest of Austin commands.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 19 filings here across 9 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 1.1% of renter households.

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 0.5% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 45% of renters. It tracks the Travis County average of 4.0 closely.
