Milwood maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX and houses 6,570 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, in the Moderate tier. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Austin rate of 29.1%.
83% 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. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 19% 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.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. That places it #78 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Westfield and East Austin. Average gross rent runs $1,744, close to the Austin average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $90,762.
One tract means one number: 4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
