Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The poverty rate is 34%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running hot is economic stress at 8/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.9/10. At $1,539 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Austin commands. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #27 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, Eastwoods and Brentwood score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 4 tracts score within 0.6 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $61,208. 64% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
