North Cat Mountain is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 4,279 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Cost burden runs 20% against 29.1% citywide, putting North Cat Mountain 9.0% under its own city. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #125 by risk, the lower third. At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Against average income of $164,948, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,820, close to the Austin average.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
