Gateway is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX, population 1,537. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 29.1% citywide, putting Gateway 13.9% over its own city.
100% 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. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #93 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Stonelake and Glen Ridge. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,755, close to the Austin average.
Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $77,575.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
