Tech Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 7,551 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 43% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 66% 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 severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
That places it #50 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. For a like-for-like read, East Congress and Tuscany Business Park score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,656, close to the Austin average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $87,582.
One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
