Gracywoods Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,283 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3.9–3.9

Gracywoods maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX and houses 3,283 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 11% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Average gross rent is $1,559, 10% below the Austin average of $1,729. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #86 by risk, the middle third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Windsor Hills and Yarrabee Bend. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $76,740. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3.9/10 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.
