East Cesar Chavez maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX, population 3,291. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 29.1% citywide, putting East Cesar Chavez 19.2% over its own city.
At $2,896 a month, rents sit 67% over what the rest of Austin commands. The voucher gap is 48.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 9.9/10. Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 209 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 3.8% of renter households. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2012, is well off that peak. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #100 by risk, the middle third.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $119,391. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
