· range 4–4
Colony Park maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX and houses 3,138 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 48%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 75% against 29.1% citywide, putting Colony Park 45.4% over its own city. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,476, 15% below the Austin average of $1,729. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #78 by risk, the middle third.
Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Westfield and East Austin score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Poverty sits at 7%, 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 $79,157.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
