Chevy Chase South is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX, population 5,527. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. 93% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Cost burden runs 39% against 29.1% citywide, putting Chevy Chase South 10.2% over its own city. Pulling the other way 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 2.2/10. At $1,412 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Austin commands. Court records for this tract carry 928 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 7.7% of renter households. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
That places it #31 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. Judgments average 2.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Domain Northside and McKinney score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $70,943.
One tract means one number: 5.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
