Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Alamo Heights

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10. At $1,313 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Alamo Heights commands. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Bexar County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.1 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $98,393, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the TX average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
