The Grove maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX and houses 4,494 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 40%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
The filing record is not thin: 71 evictions logged in this tract. Average gross rent is $2,005, 16% above the Austin average of $1,729. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 2.0% of renter households.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 0.9% in 2012, is well off that peak. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #125 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Old West Austin and Tarrytown. Against average income of $123,050, annual rent is only 20%, a wide affordability cushion.
40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
