Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Medical District
Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Travis County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 51 eviction filings across 11 observed years.
Against Travis County at 44.8%, 40% of renters here are cost-burdened. Filings peaked in 2008 at 1.9% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 0.9% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #32,842 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.3/10.
