Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Lamplight Village

99% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Against the Travis County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.0 points. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10.

Cost burden runs 55% here against 44.8% across Travis County. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Average gross rent is $1,290, 16% below the Wells Branch average. Adults with no health insurance runs 19.4% against 11.3% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 78th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.2/10. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 2.1 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
