McKinney Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,288 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 5–5

McKinney is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX, population 3,288. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 42%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

75% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Austin rate of 29.1%. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

At $2,047 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Austin commands. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #33 by risk, the upper third.

At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Medical District and Timber Creek. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $86,936.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 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.
