Bee Cliffs Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,937 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Bee Cliffs maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX, population 4,937. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 67%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 83% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $3,501 a month, rents sit 102% over what the rest of Austin commands. The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10.

The voucher gap is 79.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 62 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 8.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2012, is well off that peak.

That places it #125 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
