University Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 12,477 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.3/10 · range 3.5–4.9

University Park is a 2-tract neighborhood of Georgetown, TX and houses 12,477 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.

Cost burden runs 42% against 33.0% citywide, putting University Park 9.4% over its own city. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.5 to 4.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.6/10. Average gross rent is $2,101, 17% above the Georgetown average of $1,795.

Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Georgetown, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third. At 23% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Woodside and Wolf Ranch-Hilltop score within a fraction of it.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $102,471.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
