Timberline Ridge Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,753 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Timberline Ridge maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX, population 4,753. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Austin rate of 29.1%.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $2,157 a month, rents sit 25% over what the rest of Austin commands. The filing record is not thin: 56 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 1.2% of renter households. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.

The voucher gap is 10.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2012, is well off that peak. That places it #125 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.

Against average income of $159,958, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
