What drives eviction risk in Elmhurst Heights
The main counterweight is state political climate at 1.5/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. This is renter territory: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Against the Travis County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Average gross rent is $1,409, 19% below the Austin average. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 241 filings here across 12 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 8.9% 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 4.1% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 67% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
