Oak Ridge Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 1,564 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.4/10 · range 3.4–3.4

Oak Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 1,564 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.3/10.

At $1,232 a month, rents sit 29% under what the rest of Austin commands. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #111 by risk, the lower third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Northtown Park and Westpark. Against average income of $93,224, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
