Ideal Place Eviction Risk: Moderate , Austin

The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10. 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.

Average gross rent is $1,307, 24% below the Austin average. It sits 1.4 points above the Travis County average of 4.0. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 222 evictions over 12 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2002 at 1.4% of renter households. 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. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.6/10.

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