Tanglewood Forest takes in 2 census tracts of Austin, TX, population 9,730. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 66% against 29.1% citywide, putting Tanglewood Forest 37.3% over its own city.
33% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.1 to 4.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.7/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. At $1,582 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Austin commands.
That places it #86 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. For a like-for-like read, Windsor Hills and Gracywoods score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
