St. Edwards Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,254 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

St. Edwards maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX and houses 2,254 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. This is a renter market: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in three of renter households.

Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. At $1,493 a month, rents sit 14% under what the rest of Austin commands.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. That places it #39 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $69,950.

One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
