Broadacres Eviction Risk: Moderate , Austin

77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Disability prevalence runs 18.3% against 31.5% nationally.

Against Travis County at 44.8%, 39% of renters here are cost-burdened. Court records carry 407 eviction filings across 12 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2006 at 4.9% of renter households. At $1,588 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Austin commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 3.1% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
