Grooms Addition Eviction Risk: Moderate , Austin

The severe-burden share is 35%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.5/10.

This is renter territory: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Travis County average of 4.0.

The filing record is not thin: 93 evictions over 12 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,560, 10% below the Austin average. The worst year on record was 2002, when 0.9% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 0.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 4.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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