Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Enfield
Running hot, local political climate reads 8.5/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.5% against 31.5% nationally.
Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 78 evictions over 12 years of observation.
Against the Travis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2010, when 1.4% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 0.6% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 27% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.3/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
