Westfield is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 2,892 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. This is a renter market: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Severe burden reaches 20%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.8/10. At $1,386 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Austin commands. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
Court records for this tract carry 59 eviction filings. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 0.8% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 0.2% in 2012, is well off that peak. That places it #78 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $80,851.
One tract means one number: 4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
