Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lakeshore

97% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 14.5% against 31.5% nationally.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Against the Travis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,321 filings here across 12 tracked years. At $1,931 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Austin commands.

Filings peaked in 2009 at 10.3% of renter households. 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.

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.
