Daffan Gin Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 5,509 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 3.2–5

Daffan Gin Park is a 2-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 5,509 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Annualized rent equals 55% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, roughly two in three of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

This is a renter market: 66% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.2 to 5. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2/10.

At $1,359 a month, rents sit 21% under what the rest of Austin commands. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.1/10.

Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #64 by risk, the middle third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
