Brentwood is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 3,906 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.
At $1,338 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Austin commands. The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 118 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 1.7% of renter households.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2012, is well off that peak.
Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #27 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Eastwoods and East Riverside - Oltorf.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
