Northridge Park maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX, population 2,720. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 63% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The filing record is not thin: 168 evictions logged in this tract. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 9.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 8.1% in 2012 against a 9.6% peak.
Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wooten and West Congress.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,703, close to the Austin average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $74,653.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
