Heritage Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX, population 6,670. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 62% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Austin rate of 29.1%.
25% 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. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. 74% 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.
At $1,245 a month, rents sit 28% under what the rest of Austin commands. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. That places it #1 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
For a like-for-like read, St. Johns and West Congress score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $48,015.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 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.
