Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Violet Crown Heights

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 19.1% against 31.5% nationally.

Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The filing record is not thin: 188 evictions over 12 years of observation.

It sits 0.8 points below the Travis County average of 4.0. Filings peaked in 2006 at 3.3% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 1.7% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
