Allandale Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,799 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Allandale is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 5,799 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Austin rate of 29.1%.

12% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 151 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 6.1% of renter households.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 2.4% in 2012, is well off that peak.

Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #125 by risk, the lower third. At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,639, close to the Austin average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
