Clarksville Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,842 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Clarksville maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX, population 6,842. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. At $2,701 a month, rents sit 56% over what the rest of Austin commands.

The voucher gap is 38.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.

On the high side is supply constraint at 8.9/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. 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 165 eviction filings. 34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Austin rate of 29.1%. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 1.8% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 0.4% in 2012, is well off that peak. That places it #125 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.

For a like-for-like read, Old West Austin and Delwood score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $144,250. 60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
