Hemphill Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 2,779 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 56%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 72% against 29.1% citywide, putting Hemphill Park 43.3% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 60%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 88% 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. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. At $1,448 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Austin commands. That places it #1 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
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.
