Broadacres is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 4,549 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. This is a renter market: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
Cost burden runs 39% against 29.1% citywide, putting Broadacres 9.8% over its own city. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The filing record is not thin: 407 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 4.9% of renter households. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
At $1,588 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Austin commands. The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2012, is well off that peak. That places it #76 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $78,287.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.1/10 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.
