Yarrabee Bend spans 2 census tracts of Austin, TX and houses 4,838 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Austin rate of 29.1%.
At $1,135 a month, rents sit 34% under what the rest of Austin commands. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
The filing record is not thin: 296 evictions logged in this tract. The severe-burden share is 10%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 7.2% of renter households. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7/10.
Recent filings have not receded much: 14.5% in 2012 against a 7.2% peak. That places it #86 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
For a like-for-like read, Windsor Hills and Gracywoods score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $87,747, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes.
31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 3.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
