North Shoal Creek takes in 2 census tracts of Austin, TX and houses 7,876 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Austin rate of 29.1%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10.
The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $1,395, 19% below the Austin average of $1,729. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.4 to 5.4, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. That places it #37 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $65,921.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
