Westover Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 5,039 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.
39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Austin rate of 29.1%. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $1,249 a month, rents sit 28% under what the rest of Austin commands.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Among the 151 mapped neighborhoods of Austin, it ranks #78 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Westfield and East Austin. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
