HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Clarksville

The voucher gap is 38.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10.

On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.9/10. Cost burden runs 33% here against 44.8% across Travis County. Disability prevalence runs 16.3% against 31.5% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.5/10. 13% 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 1.0 points below the Travis County average of 4.0. Court records carry 165 eviction filings across 12 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 1.8% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 1.0% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
