West Campus Eviction Risk: Moderate , Austin

Cost burden runs 73% here against 44.8% across Travis County. Annualized rent equals 84% of average household income of $19,162, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 61%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This is renter territory: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,334, 23% below the Austin average. It sits 1.4 points above the Travis County average of 4.0.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
