Williamson is a 2-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX and houses 8,335 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.6/10, in the Lower tier. This is a renter market: 75% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.6/10. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 35% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records for this tract carry 62 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 1.2% of renter households.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 1.2% in 2012 against a 1.2% peak. Average gross rent is $1,854, 7% above the Austin average of $1,729.
That places it #105 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.1 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
