The Triangle is a 2-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 6,549 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, Moderate tier. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
87% 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.
21% 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. Filings are well documented here: 237 across 2 observed tracts.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 3.3% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2012, is well off that peak. At $1,850 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Austin commands. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #57 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are The Waters at Bluff Springs and The Centrum. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.4 points apart at the extremes.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $87,400.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
