South Bend Eviction Risk: Lower , Austin

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. 76% 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.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Against the Travis County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Severe burden reaches 8%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. 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 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent is $1,706, close to the Austin average.

Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $113,094.

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.
