Fiskville takes in 2 census tracts of Austin, TX and houses 5,657 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. 71% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Austin rate of 29.1%.
Severe burden reaches 38%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Set annual rent against average household income of $38,849 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.3/10.
At $1,223 a month, rents sit 29% under what the rest of Austin commands. 71% 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. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are St. Johns and West Congress. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
