Lamplight Village is a 3-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX, population 10,421. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Austin rate of 29.1%.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 6. A 3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. 70% 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. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. That places it #78 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
Average gross rent runs $1,752, close to the Austin average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $95,141.
