Parker Lane maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX, population 4,844. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 29.1% citywide, putting Parker Lane 12.8% over its own city.
This is a renter market: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
21% 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. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. At $1,385 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Austin commands.
The filing record is not thin: 775 evictions logged in this tract. The poverty rate is 18%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filing activity peaked in 2004 at 3.9% of renter households.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.9% in 2012 against a 3.9% peak. That places it #30 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Montopolis and Eastwoods.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 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.
