Bouldin is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 4,732 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,484, 14% below the Austin average of $1,729.
Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #123 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, South River City and Old West Austin score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 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.
