South Lamar Eviction Risk: Lower , Austin

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 15.8% against 31.5% nationally.

This is renter territory: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.0 points below the Travis County average of 4.0. At $1,877 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of Austin commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.2/10.

Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $106,959.

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.
