Delwood Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,875 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Delwood maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX and houses 1,875 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Austin rate of 29.1%.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. 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 185 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 6.3% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.

At $1,874 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Austin commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.2% in 2012 against a 6.3% peak.

That places it #125 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. For a like-for-like read, Old West Austin and Tarrytown score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $123,942, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
