Circle S Ridge Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 8,141 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.7–3.7

Circle S Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX, population 8,141. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 35% against 29.1% citywide, putting Circle S Ridge 5.7% over its own city. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Court records for this tract carry 455 eviction filings. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.6/10.

At $1,472 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Austin commands. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 3.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 3.8% in 2012 against a 3.8% peak.

That places it #100 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. The closest comparables inside the same city are East Cesar Chavez and Travis Heights.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $84,549.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
