This dataset contains all income-restricted housing within the Austin Full Purpose and into the 5-mile Extra Territorial Jurisdiction. This includes properties funded by the City of Austin along with the Housing Authority City of Austin, Housing Authority of Travis County, and Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. Some properties may be funded by more than one entity. The property attributes are intended to help Austin residents find income-restricted housing that best suits their needs.

The dataset is connected to the affordable housing data hub which is consistently updated with the most current property information. A Feature Manipulation Engine Script pulls a new dataset to the Open Data Portal on a daily basis.

This dataset includes all housing projects that have received a subsidy from or participated in a city of Austin developer incentive program. Projects may include a mix of income-restricted and market rate units and span the development pipeline from developer incentive certification or loan approval to project completion.

To determine displacement risk, researchers at the University of Texas conducted a three-part analysis: the presence of vulnerable populations, residential market appreciation, and demographic change. To determine vulnerable populations, the authors used indicators to identify residents who, according to academic research, are least able to absorb housing costs, which includes: communities of color, low-income households, heads of households without a bachelor's degree or higher, families with children in poverty, and renters.

In 2019 and 2020, the City of Austin Housing and Planning staff updated the data and simplified the categories below.

Vulnerable: Vulnerable populations present, no significant demographic change, some tracts are near or contain high-value and high-appreciation areas.
Active Displacement Risk: Vulnerable populations present, active demographic change, accelerating or appreciating housing market.
Chronic Displacement Risk: Vulnerable populations have been displaced, demographic change has occurred and the housing market is high value and appreciated or appreciating.
Historic Displacement: Tracts previously identified as at-risk to displacement in earlier Uprooted models (2016, 2019)

This dataset includes Blueprint goals that contain yearly percentages. The Fiscal Year runs from 10/1-9/30.

This is a historical measure from Strategic Direction 2023.

Home rehabilitation programs offer grants or forgivable loans to ensure low- and moderate-income households are safe and healthy by repairing foundations, roofing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, HVAC, and other structural improvements. Rehabilitation programs not only ensure their homes are safe, functional, and accessible but allows Austinites to stay in their homes, instead of selling or moving because they can not afford the repairs. The five programs include: Architectural Barrier Removal Program (Homeowner and Rental), GO Repair Grant Program, Home Rehabilitation Loan Program, and Minor Home Repair Grant Program.
