· range 4.6–4.6
Pond Springs maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX and houses 5,090 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. roughly one in two of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Austin rate of 29.1%.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
That places it #50 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. The closest comparables inside the same city are Tech Ridge and East Congress. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,676, close to the Austin average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $81,507. 65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
