Westpark maps to a single census tract in Austin, TX and houses 3,018 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 92% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Court records for this tract carry 289 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 2.1% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2012, is well off that peak.
That places it #111 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. For a like-for-like read, Northtown Park and Oak Ridge score within a fraction of it. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,828, close to the Austin average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $91,136.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
