Lakeshore is a 2-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX, population 4,753. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 96% 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.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Court records for this tract carry 1,321 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 10.3% of renter households.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 5.9% in 2012, is well off that peak. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #107 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Highland Hills and Imperial Valley score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,751, close to the Austin average.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $101,971.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
