Rosewood Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,912 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Rosewood is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 3,912 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. At $613 a month, rents sit 65% under what the rest of Austin commands.

The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1/10. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Austin rate of 29.1%.

The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running hot is economic stress at 8/10.

The filing record is not thin: 491 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 7.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.1% in 2012, is well off that peak.

Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, West Congress and Wooten score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 9% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

62% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
