Brentwood Eviction Risk: Moderate , Austin

The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,338, 23% below the Austin average.

The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.3 points above the Travis County average of 4.0.

39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Travis County average of 44.8%. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 118 filings here across 12 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2005, when 1.7% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Austin. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 0.9% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $95,703, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
