Westfield Eviction Risk: Moderate , Austin

On the high side, local political climate reads 8.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 16.7% against 31.5% nationally. 51% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Travis County average of 44.8%.

Average gross rent is $1,386, 20% below the Austin average. Court records carry 59 eviction filings across 12 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2009 at 0.8% 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 0.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Travis County average of 4.0 closely.

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