Brushy Creek is a one-tract suburb of Austin, TX and houses 7,396 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Average gross rent is $2,783, 61% above the Austin average of $1,729.
The voucher gap is 42.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.3/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 23% against 29.1% citywide, putting Brushy Creek 6.3% under its own city.
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. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #125 by risk, the lower third.
At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
