· range 5–5
Medical District maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX and houses 1,321 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 40% against 29.1% citywide, putting Medical District 11.1% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 51 evictions logged in this tract.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 1.9% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 2.2% in 2012 against a 1.9% peak. Average gross rent is $1,593, 8% below the Austin average of $1,729. That places it #33 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $92,941. 61% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
