Violet Crown Heights maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX and houses 4,702 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.2/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 13% 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. Cost burden runs about a quarter against 29.1% citywide, putting Violet Crown Heights 5.3% under its own city.
The filing record is not thin: 188 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 3.3% of renter households.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2012, is well off that peak. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #121 by risk, the lower third.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,638, close to the Austin average.
One tract means one number: 3.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
