Mueller is a 2-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 7,525 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs about half against 29.1% citywide, putting Mueller 20.3% over its own city.
The main counterweight 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.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.2. A 1.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
Average gross rent is $1,921, 11% above the Austin average of $1,729. That places it #111 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $110,991. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
