Steiner Ranch Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,789 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Steiner Ranch is a one-tract suburb of Austin, TX and houses 3,789 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 11% against 29.1% citywide, putting Steiner Ranch 17.8% under its own city.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.

At $1,908 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Austin commands. That places it #125 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.

At 20% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Delwood and Angel Pass. Against average income of $202,188, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
