Severe burden reaches 35%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. This is a renter market: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 29%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.3/10.
Court records for this tract carry 93 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 0.9% of renter households. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
At $1,560 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Austin commands. The most recent observed rate, 0.2% in 2012, is well off that peak. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, West Congress and Wooten score within a fraction of it.
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.
