Garrison Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

5 census tracts · pop 22,756 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 3.1–5.4

Garrison Park spans 5 census tracts of Austin, TX and houses 22,756 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 46% against 29.1% citywide, putting Garrison Park 17.0% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 25%. 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. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3.1 to 5.4. A 2.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Court records carry 1,368 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 14.1% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 4.0% in 2012, is well off that peak. That places it #64 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.

For a like-for-like read, North Star and Stoney Ridge score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,664, close to the Austin average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $92,423. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
