Galindo maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX, population 5,081. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 35% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Austin rate of 29.1%.
Court records for this tract carry 393 eviction filings. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.
The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 4.5% of renter households. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. At $1,542 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Austin commands.
The most recent observed rate, 0.8% in 2012, is well off that peak. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $73,588. 65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
