Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lost Creek

The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

At $3,201 a month, rents run 85% over what the rest of Austin commands. The voucher gap is 64.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 17.5% against 31.5% nationally.

Against the Travis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 57 filings here across 9 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 13.7% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 7.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
