On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 755 eviction filings. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
At $1,518 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Austin commands. The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 10.1% of renter households. That places it #1 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
