Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Government Hill

This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 24% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8.4/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 23.6% against 11.3% nationally. 42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Bexar County average of 48.2%.

Against the Bexar County average of 4.1, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Court records carry 219 eviction filings across 9 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2008 at 7.3% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for San Antonio. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 4.7% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

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.
