Oak Creek Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,168 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Oak Creek is a one-tract neighborhood of Round Rock, TX, population 3,168. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 65%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Cost burden runs 65% against 30.4% citywide, putting Oak Creek 35.0% over its own city. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. At $2,361 a month, rents sit 34% over what the rest of Round Rock commands.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. The voucher gap is 21.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. That places it #16 of 21 neighborhoods in Round Rock. Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

For a like-for-like read, Paloma Lake and The Oaklands score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
