Palomino Park is a 2-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 8,647 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 29.1% citywide, putting Palomino Park 15.0% over its own city.
26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.1 to 4.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Average gross rent is $1,571, 9% below the Austin average of $1,729. That places it #76 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Broadacres and Park Central. Against average income of $102,352, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
