Ideal Place Eviction Risk: Lower , Austin

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. This is renter territory: 72% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Disability prevalence runs 16.4% against 31.5% nationally.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Travis County average of 44.8%. The filing record is not thin: 381 evictions over 12 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2007, when 4.1% of renter households were served. 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 2.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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