Wooten is a 2-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX, population 11,028. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Austin baseline of 29.1%, 50% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
At $1,331 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Austin commands. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10. That places it #1 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
For a like-for-like read, St. Johns and West Congress score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $61,318. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
