Robinson Ranch Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 11,880 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.4–4

Robinson Ranch spans 2 census tracts of Austin, TX and houses 11,880 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs around a third against 29.1% citywide, putting Robinson Ranch 6.1% over its own city. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #100 by risk, the middle third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are East Cesar Chavez and Travis Heights. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,677, close to the Austin average. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
