The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 79 evictions over 12 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2003, when 1.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Austin.
