St. Johns takes in 2 census tracts of Austin, TX and houses 10,080 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 66% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,368, 21% below the Austin average of $1,729.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $51,356.
With little internal variation, 5.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
