Quail Creek takes in 2 census tracts of Austin, TX and houses 11,913 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 25%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. At $1,429 a month, rents sit 17% under what the rest of Austin commands.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. That places it #1 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. For a like-for-like read, St. Johns and West Congress score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $78,966.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
