Pecan Springs Springdale is a 2-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX, population 9,135. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.5 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Court records carry 1,239 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. At $1,453 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Austin commands.
The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 15.2% of renter households.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 6.6% in 2012, is well off that peak. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #57 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are The Waters at Bluff Springs and The Centrum. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
