Eastwoods Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,516 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.3–5.3

Eastwoods is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 4,516 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 57% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. This is a renter market: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 79 evictions logged in this tract.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 1.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.3% in 2012, is well off that peak.

At $1,864 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Austin commands. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #27 by risk, the upper third.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $81,667.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
