Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brushy Creek
At $2,783 a month, rents run 61% over what the rest of Austin commands. The voucher gap is 42.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.3/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 18.6% against 31.5% nationally.
12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 0.8 points below the Williamson County average of 3.8.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.7/10. Against average income of $208,511, annual rent is just 16%. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
