Evergreen Heights is a 2-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 6,805 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. At $2,323 a month, rents sit 34% over what the rest of Austin commands.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households.
Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.3. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.3/10.
The voucher gap is 19.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The severe-burden share is 12%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. That places it #100 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
The closest comparables inside the same city are East Cesar Chavez and Travis Heights. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $127,980.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
